Is it normal that I drowned an injured baby mouse?

My cat brought in a dying mouse, it was alive and looked like it still understood what was going on around it and was trying to escpae. It was in no doubt dying, so I thought that killing it would just make it faster. I was actually wanting to kill a mouse that was running around my farm, so this was a good way to do it in a completely justified way. During the time it was struggling to escape and stay alive I watched it. I was quite facinated and wanted to see it happen, but I didn't want to see it die on its own, I still wanted to do that. I got a tub, put it in the tub, and then I put water in the tub. I was actually suprised it could still swim due to its injuries. I got the lid of the tub and slowly pushed its head under. In about five seconds it died.

I do believe I did the right thing to kill it, it would of died slowly if I hadn't, but I did enjoy doing it.

Is it normal to have killed a baby injured mouse, and enjoyed killing it?

True story:

It was the precipice of springtime. I was a college junior, sprinting up the stairs to get to my philosophy course and as my foot reached the uppermost stair, a speck of wriggling black caught my eye. An ant. I'd always liked ants. "I shall name thee Ant-onio Banderas!" But as my eyes adjusted to the change in scale, I suddenly gasped - his abdomen was splattered across the tile and it was a wriggling not of joy or sensuous pleasure, but of pure agony and desperation. Someone had unwittingly stepped on him. He was harnessed to the floor by his own flesh, struggling to break free from his ironic mortal anchor.

"Poor thing", I thought. "If my torso was plastered to the floor, I'd certainly want a giant human to save me." I grabbed a leaf off of a nearby potted plant and tried to lift my little wriggling friend, but to no avail. Ant-onio innards were painted to the floor. I wanted to move him closer to the sunlight, but to do so would cause him only more pain.

I knew what I had to do. Holding back tears, I lay the leaf over Ant-onio's body. I took a few steps back. And I jumped. My foot came down upon my miniature friend with the force of a hundred thunderstorms, and with a faint "plurt", Ant-onio was dead. I killed him. I fucking killed him.

"What's... what happened, Flutterhigh?" asked my bewildered professor as I entered the room, openly weeping. I stood in the doorframe with my head down, my brow casting a shadow over the deluge of tears cascading down my face.

"Ant-onio is dead. All is lost."

LE FIN

Killing it to end the suffering is okay. Killing it in the slowest way possible is not normal. Enjoying killing it is just sick! I lived a good portion of my life so poor that I had to hunt and kill animals for food. Even then, I shot them specifically in the most humane way possible, to avoid the suffering of the animal.

Enjoying killing as an activity is sick, and a common preoccupation for future serial killers.

No one attack me but...

It's just a mouse. It was a dying mouse. I don't really care.

As for the enjoying maybe the poster meant "interesting." I took quite an interest in zoology once. I disected so many animals (in a lab of course) it's interesting. And watching a gazelle get murdered on animal planet is also interesting.

You're supposed to KILL IT WITH FIRE, not water.

You're like a psycho path! That's awful! Drowning is a horrible way to die! Creep.

What's with all these people pretending to be a psychopath? Ugh, get over yourself and quit the Dexter.

What's with all these idiots that don't understand that people don't do things like this to be characters out of TV shows and/or movies? Maybe that would be your motivation to do such a thing but not mine or many others.

No, I am not "pretending to be a psychopath", and I am certainly not a psychopath. My mind is healthy and sharp, not at all damaged.

So you think everyone that has wanted to do such things at this are just trying to be TV characters? Grow up, not everyone is like that.

Last I remembered, Dexter never killed a baby mouse. He killed other larger animals but not mice. So before you try to say someone is trying to be another, maybe make a better link to their actions, ok?

Comment back to me when you actually have some real logic to contribute to the post, ok?

My apologies, that would be my sister who responded to your story.

I don't see anything wrong with killing a baby mice, 'putting it out of its misery' or whatever. What lures me in is the fact that you enjoyed it. Mind describing how exactly you felt as its life slowly faded by your hand?

You should have just stomped on it so it died quicker, drowning something is terrible...you tard.

I didn't want it to die quicker. Not to mention that it would of made a mess of my shoes and made a mess outside that would need cleaning.

Yeah I was thinking at first that maybe this was a mercy killing and could understand why one wouldn't want to stomp a mouse but considering what you just said I feel that I should mention that killing small animals for fun is a common symptom of psychosis and found to be a very common hobby of pre-murder serial killers.

I wouldn't go around telling people this. Get help.

I think you mean psychopathy / sociopathy, not psychosis. But yeah, many serial killers kill their way up the food chain for entertainment in early life culminating in man, "the most dangerous game".

Not always, i was diagnosed as ASPD (slightly less severe than sociopathy) at age 21 (court ordered). I couldn't give a fuck about injuring humans or animals but i don't set out too, only to help a goal will i do so. You're thinking of a sadist i'd say.

Of course not always. But there is a trend of psycho/sociopathic serial killers having a history of animal cruelty. I think that was what NeuroNeptunian was referring to, rather than psychosis, which is characterised by paranoia and delusions.

The cat actually brought it to you as present thats what cats do to thank you for looking after them. The fact that you enjoyed it could be that start of more serious trouble you could graduate to bigger animals and eventually humans

Yeah! I did that too and before I knew it, my cat was bringing in buffalo, hookers and hitchhikers! Try explaining that to the cops!

Lol but actually when cats bring prey home, it's not a gift. They bring it home because they want to eat it in a safe place where no other predators will take it. In the wild, they would bring it into their den, domestic cats bring their kills inside.

i dont care what other people say yes it normal. i hate and despise mice!! they could all die for all i care. One less mouse to repopulate hundreds

I think we need less humans that don't give a shit about mice!!

They say if you enjoy hurting animals, you would enjoy doing much worse to human beings. That's a scary thought.

Maybe you were just intrigued, not so much enjoying yourself. Watching a helpless little animal die is fascinating, but it is heart wrenching too..well, it should be..I've never done it.

I didn't feel happy, but in some other sense I enjoyed it. I didn't feel bad about it at all.

Hmm..maybe you enjoyed putting it out of it's misery?

Its just a mouse, if you ever worked in biology, you would know that those mice getting killed all the time, every medicine out there got dozens if not hundreds dead mice behind it.

The end doesn't justify the means.

Your question seems odd. You say you wanted to put it out of its misery, but you enjoyed it at the same time. I heard the most humane thing to do is leave it alone and let it die in peace. That is how animals go off to die in the wild.

When I first read this I thought you wrote baby mousse. I was like how do you fit a mousse in a tub. Lol.

I can think of a few better ways to die than drowning.

and what would those be?

As the gurgleing slowly fades.... You know that the mouse is at peace once again.

We are predators, it's in our nature. Killing for us is enjoyable on the lowest instinctive level, since it means food, safety and triumph.

But, we also have compassion and faith in the goodness of our kind. So killing is wrong. From many religious/secular points you should avoid taking any life, unless you have to defend/feed yourself.

Nope, not normal.

What if the poor mouse is near death and suffering so bad that we have to do something to end it's suffering and the only thing one can think of is drowning it, although not pleasant isn't it more humane than to let it get eaten by ants?

Sadism is normal. I would have frozen it so that Id have a preserved specimen. You chose the wrong way to kill it sucker t(-_-)t

...It was dying, it would of died before it felt cold, let alone frozen.

Complete waste of space, not to mention pointless, not to mention people would notice it. I could imagine you being caught for a murder rather quickly.

Hey, Im not the one who chose to make it suffer by drowning it.

...I don't see how that had any point with my reply to you.

It's perfectly OK to want to put these animals down humanely. What was not normal was that you enjoyed killing the rat.
Comment Hidden (show)
Unfortunately I found an injured mouse and it seemed really bad, I thougt the best way would be to drown it, when I tried downing it I coulnt do it, I burst into tears as the poor little thin was wriggling and gasping. I was a mess, ran to my dad, told him about it and he went and finished it off. I still cannot forget about this poor mouse and in a way I fell guilty even though it was going to die, I'm sure of it. Next time, I will make it as confortable as possible and let it die on it's own time. You live and learn. But having said all that, I can't understand how anyone can get pleasure out of trying to kill anything...
