[quote space-time]you guys talking about "inhumane" glue traps, remember, we're not catching humans, we're catching mice!
LOL!
"Inhumane" means lacking and reflecting a lack of pity or compassion. It's about the trapper, not the trappee. I think the correct way to use the word would be to say the USE of glue traps is inhumane, since the traps themselves of course cannot be expected to feel pity or compassion.
And I think those glue traps are sick and disgusting. It's for people who are so self-centered that they will make an animal suffer for hours to avoid sixty seconds of having to view its dead body while throwing a trap into the trash. So I will add "cowardly" to "inhumane".
