Humane mousetraps are actually nothing of the sort. Unless you check all of them, every few hours, the poor little things die in there of hunger and thirst which is far worse than the short sharp shock of the conventional mousetrap.
I remember my father-in-law, a tender-hearted life-long vegetarian, so mortified to find the tortured emiacted corpses of meeces in the "humane" traps he had overlooked.
