Animal ethics and glue traps

They are really heartbreaking... For goodness just finish the poor thing off. Don't keep it there til it rots. ;___;

I've never seen a trap like these but I have heard of them. We use snap traps for a quick kill and even those I feel bad for using. Mice are a ♥♥♥♥♥ and destroy everything so you almost shouldn't feel bad but I still do. I want them gone out of the house or wherever but I don't want to kill them... I can hardly look at the poor thing's body hanging off a trap...it just makes me sick. >_<
 
I have no problem whatsoever with having mice killed. That is, preferably being killed without suffering too much.

Also, Isn't it cruel to keep a mouse captive - contained in a small space, just struggling in anxiety over being caught, just to be found hours later and killed? I would rather use a snap trap with a high success rate than a trap that keeps it in a so-called "humane" tiny space where it can be frightened to death, or rather until it doesn't die because it has just been locked up.

Optimal solution in my opinion would be a mini-guillotine that simply cuts the mouse's head off.
