Ok, I’ve enjoyed a good night’s sleep, a hearty breakfast, and more stimulating conversation elsewhere on the Internet, so now I’m ready for the usual crap here.

Mark131v, humans are animals also. I find attitudes on this forum consistently indicating greater compassion to dogs than to human beings. BTW, I don’t believe in karma.

Quimbiam, to your first point, I don’t share your conclusion; to your second, what are you trying to say??? Are you trying to tell me that by taking antibiotics I’m killing life? Of course I do, and of course I know I do. Where is the inconsistency in my view of vermin in this regard?

November Rain, I was being honest! I give a massive amount that works immediately. It colours the food blue, but that doesn’t put the vermin off. I’d be happy to reduce that 5 minutes to instantaneous if you could advise on an alternative, and relatively easy, means to killing vermin that doesn’t rely on guns. Do you poison those other 4-legged intelligent mammals, rats?

Pickel, no - I don’t consider any human as vermin.

Xanax, these guys are unfortunately blinded by their double standards.
