I need to know why we are on a mission to save the mice.

Also, we may not rip mice apart with our teeth but we kill millions of them in labs .... Dodgy

My house is located in a rural area at the edge of a forest. Deer Mice are numerous here and they can be very destructive when they get indoors. They're cute little creatures and I hate to kill them, but they've gotten into my pantry and kitchen too many times to put up with the damage they do to food and other household goods. They were even a problem when I operated a caterpillar farm, attacking sleeved branches to eat larvae and cocoons. My cats have bagged their share of them and I've eliminated many more with traps. I can't fault cats for catching mice. It's in their nature to be hunters.

Correct, you're not supposed to roll around in batshit...and yet....
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
