Spaying or Neutering Rats?!?!?

[Geckolady]

Oh, you are soooo not going to believe this!

Recently rodents have been hanging around after the chicken feed. I set several different types of traps, and this morning I caught one in a live catch trap. OK, so now what do I do with it? I look on line, and this web site suggests taking it to the vet, treating its wounds, and having the vet spay or neuter it before releasing it. What sane person would do this? I don't know about you, but if I asked my vet to do this, I'd probably hear some language you can't print here. Scroll down to see the third part and get a good laugh. They also give the option of taking it to the humane society. Yeah, right.

WOW!
Pet rats are neutered fairly often, no problem. Wild rats? No way!!!
Sanity seems to be is short supply is some circles, all I can say.

Yeah, that's weird. Just kill it. It's a freaking rat, c'mon.

Well, that's the plan, but I'm trying to figure out how to do it without it escaping or getting me with those big teeth.

Shovel.

Shovel.

Inside a wire trap with no room?

No. I killed the rat in the feed bucket. Hmmm..

Rat poison?

Rat poison?

This can happen.

OK, the fat rat will meet its demise via rat poison. But the main reason I posted this is so you could enjoy a good laugh at the crazy web site.
