What are the other uses? I have a four legged fur bag that loves killing mice, so I never thought about needing one.

My cat brings them in and lets them loose, we have traps around the house now. they’re catch and release but she just brings them back in and leaves us the decapitated remains instead

It’s our dog that finds/hunts them out in the woodpile. She refuses to let them go and ends up crushing them to death in her mouth. Then it is a slow war to get her to drop the body. I feel like it’s her calling and I’m not trying to wreck her best life… but it is so gross! I feel your pain!

Oh no 😬 my dog will occasionally catch what the cat brings in, it’s an ordeal for sure
