  • @stevethetree1991
    @stevethetree1991 Před 4 lety +277

    The reason I liked having the option of watching the action shots is to be able to evaluate and decide for myself how clean/humane the traps were for pest control applications by actually seeing what happens, not to take pleasure in watching an animal die.
    SUGGESTION:
    I agree with another commenter who said that it would be nice if you gave a review or a "humaneness" rating. I understand that if you use a trap at all, then you must think it is humane enough to be used ethically, but providing a score on a "good / better / best" type of scale would be really useful. I think that is really in line with the channel promoting humane practices as well, since you can educate people on what styles of traps are most humane with a rationale to go with it.
    If you come across styles or designs of traps that you think are inhumane and would not use or demonstrate on real animals, I would find it interesting if you provided your rationale for that as well - a review of the design and how it works and what makes it inhumane.
    Again, this would be educational and it would promote humane pest control practices.
    Thanks for everything you do for your viewers!
    PS - to add to that, some of the best information I ever got from this channel was from you talking about poison and glue traps being inhumane and the logic behind that. I will always remember those and I think about this channel whenever I see those styles of traps in stores.

    Shawn,
    I've been watching for over a year, and I've enjoyed each and every video. Thank you for explaining your reasons for not showing the action shots on your website. The reasons all seem very legitimate and are in no way a reflection of you "cowing" to the CZcams overlords. It seems you have spent enough time and money trying to find a solution, money that would have been better spent on this channel. I am one viewer that isnt going anywhere, as you said, the focus should be on the traps, not the kill. If people aren't getting the bloodshed they want from your channel and that causes them to unsubscribe...then fine. Don't let the door hit you on the way out!
    You have great content and your down to earth and open approach is greatly appreciated here.

      Sure he does. He's got several videos that feature kill traps that involve somewhat prolonged deaths. The most obvious examples are any of the drowning traps - the animals swim until they're exhausted and then drown. There are also traps where the animal is tightly snared in some way that results in a death by suffocation (think compression traps or a trap that bands an animal's chest.)

    New to your channel here and I just want to say: I like that you're against the animal suffering bit. I've been looking into different mouse traps lately, and the videos I keep finding on CZcams have been showing exactly what you said: electric traps, glue traps, etc. that just exist to make the mouse suffer... and based on a LOT of the comments I read, there are some seriously sick people who exclusively watch these videos just to watch the mouse suffer an agonizing death.
    Personally... I just want a mouse trap that kills quickly and effectively without causing the mouse too much suffering. This 'Jaws of Life' trap definitely fits the bill: It reminds me of your average cliché mouse trap with the spring trap and the bait, but this one limits them to where they can only stick their head in one area, whereas the typical mouse trap allows them to roam all over the trap... and if/when it activates, it mostly breaks legs, traps tails, etc. and otherwise just puts the mouse in a position where it will die, but it needs to suffer tremendously before that happens. With this... they stick their head in, click, dead. Quick, effective, and hopefully painless.

    Hi there Shawn, coinsidentelly I invented a mouse trap to entertain my daughter a few days ago. Its a 3 story dolls house with a small mouse size one way round hole in the back (holes are irrisistable to mice). There are stair cases going from floor to floor and bedrooms with comfortable beds to keep the mice happy. A kitchen with doll house tables and chairs because the occupants are going to get hungry. Putting food on the table is done through a tube that looks like a chimney and putting water in the bath is added through another chimney. I didn't think they would actually bath but would go to the bathroom when they needed a drink. There are Windows to every room and the guests will soon get to know the kids that come to see them and feed them. This is probably the most humane mouse trap ever invented and should keep the criticizing, unproductive lefties happy!

How do you rate the reliability, humane-ness (in terms of quick clean kill, when it is a kill trap), etc. While you may be restricted in showing us I think we could all trust your personal evaluation in a scoring system that also gives you a reason to do a recap & review video on occasion.
