Oh Dear I Indirectly Murdered A Rat

[phleb]

Was sat near patio doors day before yesterday watching this ginormous rat going up and down my decking collecting bits of food the kids had dropped. This was going on most of the afternoon in daylight. I decided to set a trap, and bingo, last night there was the big man, caught, he released himself, and died a foot away from the trap. Verdict: bled to death after misadventure. I shoved him into a cereal box and chucked him into the bin.

Now the problem is my decking looks like a murder scene, i have put a white tent on the area and taped the garden with 'police crime scene written across the tape' blood all over, which will not clean off. Forensics have been and gone.

{Lol just joking about the last bit, don't get worried}

Am i cruel?

Why do you ask are you cruel, when you obviously don't think you are, and I agree with ratty !!

Which cereal box? Shredded Rat?

Yuk, rats are vermin, get rid of the decking,if you see a rat in the daytime it means that the nest is full. So reluctantly I have stopped putting food out for the birds,after seeing several roaming in the garden.
