Yes they’re a pest – but then again if you disturb (read: destroy) a nest by accident and discover four baby mice which haven’t even opened their eyes, what do you do? Since it was unlikely that the mother would come back after I had to pick them off the ground and they were covered in human smells we called the RSPCA and they were taken away. Bizarrely I have no problems eating meat, contemplating killing and eating squirrel/rabbit, I couldn’t bring myself to remove a pest from our lives.
Ah well…
