A Canadian woman put out poison for mice in her stinky RV. The poisoned mice crawled out into the wild, in agonizing pain, where cats, owls, a fox or ten, and other animals that make up nature, then ate the poisoned mice. And they then died slowly too.
But in a nasty twist of karma, Katie Henderson from Ontario's dog Sadie got to her stash of poison, ate some of it, and died an excruciating horrible death from internal bleeding. The poison quite literally dissolved Sadie's organs. The woman should have foreseen the possibility that her ignorance could have - and indeed did - kill her 'child.' After all, pets are exactly like children, psychologists say we experience the same pain when a beloved pet dies as when a child dies. Pets are as curious as young children, we all know it. In a cramped, small space like a RV it is a given that one dare not keep any dangerous chemicals in there.
Let us not forget, most animals are far more intelligent than we give them credit for. In her last moments, Sadie - that knew who put the poison there, dogs observe their owners all the time - probably wondered what her 'mother' had done to her. Imagine that mental pain of realizing in your last moments that you snuggled up for years next to a selfish monster that would kill you one day. The pain of betrayed trust the dog must've felt should haunt everyone.
Now suddenly the Snow Mexican woman experiences a feeling of loss. The dog was an object that had a purpose for her. But for years she didn't think - no, she did not care, and that is worse - about the same feeling of loss that the kids of the animals she brutally killed before with poison must have experienced so many times as well. If a human baby got to the poison and died from eating it, that mother would have been jailed for her negligence. So why not jail her anyway for killing her animal-child? Technically-speaking, she is a serial killer of living beings, is that not factually correct?
Katie Henderson from Ontario preferred to kill several types of animals instead of using both her brain cells simultaneously to rather use humane live traps. She belongs to a Facebook group called RV Tips, so one can assume she goes camping with it. Or else she may be what is called 'white trailer trash', she does mention permanent hookup in the group, and she did ask advice about her smelly trailer before. Why go camping, to kill innocent animals? Stay the fuck out of nature then.
I am not oblivious to the fact that rodents can cause a lot of damage to a vehicle. Rodents rodent, they nibble on everything. It is part of an evolutionary process to keep their ever-growing teeth in check. The plastic around wiring seems like food to them, and with humans invading their space food can become scarce. Keep in mind, small animals see this gigantic building, that is warm inside and with enough space to hide away from predators, and since us humans invaded their natural space they have no choice but to enter such a building we call recreational vehicles (RV) to build their little homes in there.
The purpose of poison is to kill. It exists for no other reason at all. And when you had killed off your target, many other animals consume your target, from birds to mammals to maggots. And so your poison ends up in many animals, killing them slowly, and eventually making the soil infertile too. But try telling that to some people that avoids 'the tree of knowledge' (reading) because of religious indoctrination.
Poison takes out the life of a living being, in a very cruel way, whether it is a plant or animal. It quite literally eats away the insides of an animal, it is like drinking swimming pool acid. Using poison is as immoral and despicable as religious beliefs. Before humans entered an area, plants and animals lived in harmony with each other and kept everything in check. But when humans invaded such areas and then mixing up dangerous chemicals to form poison with the sole purpose of destroying part of nature, we humans disturbed the balance. No no, not we, you, they, them. I won't include myself with such vile behavior, so, no 'we.'
There are many natural, ethical ways to deter any kind of animal and even unwanted plants, without using a sniff of poison. We know that, because science says so, and science can prove it, and an increasing number of farmers are proving it in practice by cutting out all poisons and instead use natural means. For example, letting a wiggle-waggle of geese stroll through vineyards to eat snails, instead of spraying poison on that fruit we humans consume later. (Ever noticed how cancer cases went through the roof after humans started using poison everywhere after World War Two?)
It is a common trick among survivalists that live off-grid, to use ammonia to deter animals. Most animals hate the smell of it. By placing small pieces of cloth in the undercarriage of a RV, mice and rats and even spiders simply won't enter the RV. When placed right it won't disturb pets inside the RV. Deter rodents where they are likely to get up into a RV, at the wheels. Hide cloth the size of a match box with a splash of ammonia on it in the wheel wells, for example.
I am part of the new generation that stands up against the many atrocities other humans commit out of selfishness, that destroys our planet. Killing an innocent momma-mouse just because the animal has no use to you is wrong. Period. It is immoral. It is unethical. That mouse-momma's babies never got to see their mother again, and died somewhere of hunger. It could have, and should have been avoided by having a mentality of deterrence, not one of killing animals that just wants to live in peace.
The correct procedure for Katie Henderson and other humans like her would have been to put out a live trap to catch mice and rats, then release the little buggers in a field nearby, with some water and food till they adapted to their new environment. When a trap is self-made it may very well be cheaper than poison too. Look at the photos below, it is easy to make such a trap, and extremely effective. Can also use the bucket afterwards for another purpose again.
Or buy one from Amazon, if you don't want to make your own.
If you find this article upsetting, and/or rude, and/or think I'm a douche, here is some good advice: Don't kill animals, and don't wrong either animals or other humans out of selfish greed. Then you won't end up on the internet where your grandchildren one day will read up on your legacy. You will be remembered for the way you treated animals, nature, and our environment.
May this article serve as a warning to other humans not to perform stupid, selfish, ignorant acts that endanger or harm any animal. Because somewhere a douche like me will use the internet to remind you and your family and your friends forever about it.
