if a mouse was in someone's house most people would kill it in a mouse trap. i am sure they kill their mice in a more humane way than that.
there are ways of painlessly, instantly killing baby mice.
so what's the problem? it's just a mouse. i agree, they should prevent their mice from breeding if they don't want baby mice, but, if occasionally someone makes a mistake and puts a male and female mouse together (since they look pretty similar), and they have babies, then you have to kill them. you can't just take them outside and set them free. they're mice. they carry diseases. baby mice that get a quick, painless death are probably much better off than those which get sold as pets.
who would want a pet mouse anyway? they sleep all day, and they smell.

IT'S JUST A MOUSE!!?? WELL, YOU'RE JUST SOME HUMAN, WHY DON'T WE FREEZE YOU ALIVE? IT'S PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT SAY "IT'S JUST SOME DUMB ANIMAL... IT CAN'T FEEL" AND THEN KILL THE ANIMAL. I LIVED WITH 3 HAMSTERS FOR A WHILE AND THEY WERE MY BEST FRIENDS. TAME MICE WOULD BE JUST AS GREAT PETS. MY HAMSTERS SMELLED, AND I HATED THE AGONY OF CLEANING THE CAGES, BUT I STILL LOVED THEM AND CARED FOR THEM! I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT FREEZING THE MICE IN MY HOUSE ALIVE. I PROTESTED WHENEVER MY MOTHER PUT TRAPS OR POISON DOWN, AND IT WAS THE POISON SHE PUT DOWN THAT KILLED MY HAMSTER. WE LOST ALL 3 HAMSTERS, AND I CRIED FOR A LONG TIME. YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE NO COMPASSION FOR ANIMALS, AND THAT MAKES ME SICK.

just because they had mice in their freezer, that doesn't mean they freeze the mice alive. they probably kill them in a more humane way first, then put their dead bodies in a freezer.

There was a discovery in a Petco freezer of a hamster that had kept itself alive inside the freezer by living inside the dead bodies of other rodents. How would the hamster get there if they killed it humanely before putting it in the freezer? And if it didn't die during the killing process, it should have been their duty to check the animals.

And even so, they shouldn't kill animals in the first place!

And even so, they shouldn't kill animals in the first place! So they should just feed the snake a live baby mouse?

They shouldn't have the snakes in captivity, Hikari, they should release them and let them hunt so we're not giving both the snakes and the rodents their death certificates.
Mad Member, where did you hear that?

Well, that's great. I wanted a pet chicken snake for the longest time, but I also didn't want one because I didn't want to have to feed it dead animals.
