      How long until harming animals wasn’t enough for this person…

    2. Should’ve cut its throat, skinned it and eaten it and nobody would’ve been bothered

      This is horrific. But reading the news article – “protected animals” like mice and rats?

    4. My biology teacher took some rats that had been in the labs all year, put them live in plastic bags and then put them in the freezer.

      The next day they were pinned to chopping boards for us to cut up.

      I’m curious how that’s different.

    5. It’s interesting that she was found to have caused „unnecessary suffering to a protected animal.“ There are 2 species of rats in the UK, 4 species of mouse and 2 species of dormouse. Of all of these, only the two dormouse are classified as protected animals and only one of them exists outside somewhere in South East England.

      Since it was specifically for doing it to a protected animal, doesn’t that mean she would still have her job if she’d done it to any other species?

      She’s been disqualified from owning any animals for 7 years. Serious question… why not just a lifetime ban?

      Christ this sub is such a day ruiner I swear. Scrolling Reddit and just casually see the most awful stuff written on in titles here.

      If you’re posting potentially distressing stuff here, please consider phrasing it more carefully in the title.

    8. Disgusted that she called this an error of judgement. She planned it, bragged about it and then went ahead when told not to do it. That’s not a lack of judgement That’s cruelty.

      Good. Should be jail time and mental health treatment for the psycho though. Punishment for animal cruelty should be stronger in this country.

    10. Regardless of anything else 

      The sheer lack of empathy is scary. People looking after vulnerable people that have no issues killing via bleach and boiling water shouldn’t be anywhere near care work

      Usually a big indicator, of a psychopath. Common trait in serial killers too.

      When your coworkers are all telling you not to do it and you still do it knowing the pain and harm it’s gonna cause and then you say it’s an error in judgement.. yeah f right off with that. Should be a lifetime ban for owning any pets as this person clearly doesn’t have empathy towards living creatures

      EDIT: to be clear this is not something I’d do – and depending on what she said about it to her colleagues in the groupchat, it definitely should warrant an investigation into her care standards with humans. I just don’t think instant striking off is proportionate.

      The mice were living in her wheelie bin and presumably leaving poop and eating food in her house.

      It seems like this was just the simplest way she could come up with to kill them. Calling an exterminator is a big expense to expect from someone on her salary.

      Most rat/mouse traps are also pretty horrific. Sticky traps mean the animals break their own bones trying to escape and eventually slowly suffocate. Rat poison stops wounds healing and is again a slow death. Spring traps also often do not kill instantly.

      Honestly this feels like a two-tier justice system – well to do business owners can assault humans with weapons and get a suspended sentence „so they don’t lose their business“. This lady now has her entire career ended for doing pest control in a way the judge finds offensive.

      This is a very first world story.

      „Individual disposes of vermin using tools at hand“ would not make the papers, let alone be an offense, in a lot of other places.

      How do you reckon your local chippy deals with rats in their bins? I’d bet a fair few find a new use for cooking oil. Do you think farmers limit themselves to approved methods?

      People only care because its mousey wousey and not a load of cockroaches. People need to get a grip

      Hang on, since when are rats considered a „protected species“? I am pretty rats are a pest, have always been. They caused the population of the known world to half.

      That does not excuse her means, but they idea to get rid of a pest is not in question. Pest controllers do this all the time, but hopefully with less flailing and faster results.

      Concerning. I’ve also seen an extremely popular TikTok page where a guy is torturing tics in a different way each day. The amount of people enjoying it and egging him on with more and more disgusting ways to torture the next tic is alarming. Definitely will be an escalating pattern of behaviour.
