There was a mouse in my kitchen sink this morning. I trapped it in a yogurt container. I'm not sure what to do with it. I looked up "humanely kill mice". I found a surprising amount of literature. Apparently freezing (I was going to just leave it outside in the trash) is not recommended. Apparently it's very painful. I think I'm going to try a small animal gas chamber. Seems simple enough. Kind of like a science experiment too. I don't have the guts to grab it by the tail and bang it against a table, as most people suggest.

Hmm. Not sure I'd recommend that method. I just put the yogurt container in a big ziploc bag with a glass of vinegar. Then I undid the lid, and dropped about a tablespoon of baking soda into the vinegar. I was very surprised to see how much CO2 came out. The gallon ziploc was full within about 5 seconds. It definitely did the trick, but perhaps it's a little elaborate. I should have just put a mousetrap in the sink.
