Mouse Thrown Into Fire Sets Home Ablaze <!-- END HEADLINE -->
<!-- BEGIN STORY BODY -->Sun Jan 8, 11:51 PM ET


A mouse got its revenge against a homeowner who tried to dispose of it in a pile of burning leaves. The blazing creature ran back to the man's house and set it on fire.
Luciano Mares, 81, of Fort Sumner said he caught the mouse inside his house and wanted to get rid of it.
"I had some leaves burning outside, so I threw it in the fire, and the mouse was on fire and ran back at the house," Mares said from a motel room Saturday.
Village Fire Chief Juan Chavez said the burning mouse ran to just beneath a window, and the flames spread up from there and throughout the house.
No was hurt inside, but the home and everything in it was destroyed.
Unseasonably dry and windy conditions have charred more than 53,000 acres and destroyed 10 homes in southeastern New Mexico in recent weeks.
"I've seen numerous house fires," village Fire Department Capt. Jim Lyssy said, "but nothing as unique as this one."

We have a horrible mouse infestation in our house and we have been kindly using sticky traps to catch them. I have caught one and 3 have mysteriously disappeared. We are moving to inhumane traps next week as we're done playing nicely :evil:

I'm pretty sure standard mouse traps at least usually kill the mice nearly instantaneously. Unlike, say, throwing them alive into a pile of burning leaves...

Well last time I caught a mouse in a sticky trap, he had to have sat there for a couple days while I was gone, then I took the trap and launched it out into the snow. I guess that wasn't the most humane way to go either.

On the other hand I heard a mouse scamper across my room on the wood floor last night while I was falling asleep. If that isn't a reason enough to get tough I don't know what is.

Grow some stones, man! :wink2:

Seriously, if you can't even put the mouse out of its misery after catching it in a trap, then why even trap them? All it takes is a little tap on the head with a hammer.
Here's a suggestion - watch a double feature including "The Yearling" followed by "Old Yeller". That should do the trick.

Before we all get too carried away.
You should all know that mice in the desert southwest carry the Hantavirus. a very nasty little virus.
And disposal of dead mice is not to be taken lightly.

That being said,

What an idiot!:yow1:

Grow some stones? I slept last night with a mouse in my room which I could not locate. Good enough? Mice are not biting on our cheese and peanut butter deposits.

Well considering I don't live in a southwest desert, who's the idiot now? Some hunrgy animal got a mouse feast in the front lawn.
