A small mouse just trapped into a glue trap in front of my rooms. I lived in such a boarding house, rent one room only and shared it with others. Previously, a lot mouses here, walking around the roof. The sound was disappear for few days. Looks like a mom have been caught, so their children must struggling away and search for their own food. As the result, one of the kids trapped in front of rooms.
I was very confused. At one time, i feel that i need to help him. Imagine how suffer you are, if one of your body is glued at one side to the floor and waiting to the death.
Another thought comes to my mind. Mouse usually gave birth up to ten child. Normally, in wild life there must be a predator and some of these childs are their prey. Not all of the child would survive to adult.So there is no problem with the number child that mouse have and the balance is keep.
But, in a single house, there weren’t any predator. So, if a mother of mouse give birth to ten child, and that ten child grown up to gave birth another ten, it will become a huge number of species, because no balance within it. Later, it can cause more problem to the human.
however, it can’t be a justification for human to easily kill the mouse cruelly. As i believe human must develop loving kindness and try to avoid kill any single live, this problem become contradictive.
You let the mouse die, you are cruel and cold blooded. But, let the mouse in the house just bring more problem as the number growing uncontrollable, the balance is destroyed
So what should we do ?
