Glue traps are cruel, and retailers should be banned from selling them

First off, they are sold to glue a mouse, then toss the whole thing, mouse and all. They don't market it as a catch-and-release.

And because they don't only get stuck by their feet, like their face, for example. If you're only planning on catch-and-release, then use a trap made for that. How silly do you have to be to glue them to a piece of paper, just to intend to un-glue them later?? That alone is cruel.

They don't get gore in my house like a snap trap does yet fit in the same places where a catch-and-release trap would not. The mouse still lives and I get maybe two of them a year, in the fall as the temps cool. I really don't think it's a big deal.
