Suffering Half Dead Animals - What Is The Sikh Thing To Do?

we have mice in our garage,i have set traps for them, and killed 14 mice so far this year.

One mouse was unfortunate enough to get trapped just by the edge of his mouth, and i had to put the poor thing out of its misery, (the traps if they get the mouse by the neck kill instantly) and i couldnt bring myself to hit it with a hammer, so i picked the trap up and put it in a plastic box and filled it would water, but seeing the little critter drown was worse.

I should have hit it with something instead to kill it straightout, rather than watch its little legs twitching and shaking as it died.

though I know this is no-doubt an attention grabbing post; I still feel the need to address this

Are you actually serious about this? at first dog at my house would kill the mice around our house. I believe 2 were killed if I remember correctly. Recently, I found that she cornered 4 mice in a bucket and left them for us alive. I went out and set them free.

Sikhism teaches to not take the lives of the innocent and to defend them. While a black widow spider could be a threat or something like a cobra; mice are no threat and there are several means to dispose of them without taking away the flame of life.

Seriously, do 20 seconds of research and you can find several means to trap them and set them free in a distant field, forest, or any area.

You doing what you're doing is treating life like garbage.

All life is sacred bro.

Paaji - Don't mind him, he was feeling unloved the day he wrote that! He loves his rocky's veggie wrap as much as the next Singh!! :-D

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
