Gotta respect half these enlightened Lemmings who live at peace in their rodent and bug infested basements.
If I ended up squishing a mouse with work shoes, I would not throw them away. A good wash what I’d give them since I like to wear my shoes out until they are falling apart. Any less and it feels like I’m not getting my money out of them.
I’m going to have to go with Team Mouse on this one. If your only reaction is to stomp a mouse running past your foot, that’s a bit of a red flag there. The mouse is not presenting a clear and present danger, it is not threatening harm to itself or others, and is actively engaged in de-escalating the situation triggered, through no fault of its own, by its mere presence.
Anon could make Police Captain some day.
