Your brother needs help
but thankyou, on behalf of the mouse, for trying to be humane.

Your brother has some serious issues man. That's not right.

I live in the mountains and mice are a part of it. They're neighbors just like every other animal. With a humane trap, which is all I use, you just need to bait it with a little peanut butter and keep an eye on it.

Once it's trapped you just need to move it away so it doesn't come back. Some say a couple of hundred yards and others think a mile or so. The desert isn't the best call. An open field will work. Those mice in your house have probably never lived outside. So yeah. It's not optimum for them but you don't want mouse shit in your house.

If there's one then there will more than likely be others. I usually get them in groups of three or four. What I do sometimes is put a trapped mouse in a big bucket and wait until I catch another. They're family and they may do better in nature with each other.

But tell your brother to slow his roll and understand his place. Killing animals is horseshit. You're doing the right thing. Good luck with it.

Set it free, no need to set it on fire 🔥 that’s a bit extreme.

When we have mice (happens from time to time because we live in a building with many apartments), we just put some mouse traps which catch them but don't kill them, and then made sure there wasn't any food for them to eat. That worked.

You should continue with your humane trapping and relocating the mouse in a 'wild' place away from houses plan. Or anywhere, if you think your disturbed brother would actually do what you've described.

Fake post but amusing. 👍

Explain to your brother if you can that it's unecessary to kill like that and it's easy to take the mouse away..

Get a cat 😂😂

So burning an animal alive then blowing it to pieces with a powerful gun, would not be a "sin"? Or does you brother just have a sick sense of humour?

Catch the mouse, release it some distance from the house - and put an angle-grinder cutting-disc through that gun!

Your brother has issues - might be a good idea to get him some help.

Guys, if their household doesn't even have an AR-15 then he was probably just kidding.

But if your garage isn't connected to your house (not all are) there might be less to worry about. Just go through with the proper method of ridding the mice or mouse.
