On an Incredible Act of Courage and Compassion
08Dec07
To the brave soul who trapped a mouse in a gluetrap and left it in the hallway, bravo! We would like to commend you for digging so deep and summoning the courage to carry such a ferocious beast — did you use your bare hands? — to the elevator, where we and countless others were able to witness its writhing terror and agony. How our veins pulsed with righteous justice with each piteous cry of that pathetic, despicable monster! We hope that you won’t be too disturbed to learn that we — lacking your noble courage and compassion — could not resist the impulse to put this hellish creature out of its misery, sending it to the very oblivion you are so right to fear.
