I think you have a very nice heart. I have been known to trap bees in a glass that have gotten inside, and take them outside and let them go.
Everyone tells me, "You know, he is just going to get eaten by a bird outside, right?"
But the point is, that in the mean time, that bee could find a bee girl friend and make bee babies before it gets eaten.
I think that was a very nice thing you did, and dont ever let anyone tell you otherwise.

I would have done the same thing. I once found a newborn mouse at work who was lying in oil so I washed him off the best I could and tried to save him. Unfortunately, he only made it through the night. I think all of God's creatures deserve a chance. Good for you.

There is nothing wrong with compassion but if the mice are causing problems on your farm, then in the long run, your act of compassion may harm the farm.
I hope you can find a better way to kill mice than to drown them in a bucket... Drowning is not a pleasant way to die...
I don't have a problem with the killing... I have a problem with killing in a manner that causes extreme suffering...
You should get a couple more cats.

While I could not have watched it drown, either; now it is running around alive, breeding and making hundreds of new baby mice in its lifetime.
Don't you have cats around to eat mice?

when the lion helped the mouse the mouse helped the lion,
that phrase from a stroy that talks about when a lion saved a mouse's life then the mouse cut the lion free from a hunter's net
if you just take from that story then you know you did the right thing

If you feel kindly towards animals, then you have made the right choice. This is the way of your life. I see that you are kind. I wish you much joy in your life. Peace!

If you believe you did the right thing then no one else can tell you that you're wrong. I believe that you have done the right thing. Do not worry about other people's opinion too much because it was your choice and not theirs.
