Rest in peace sweetheart
My coworker found this poor baby while taking out the trash at our work, we work fast food. He was lying on his back and seemed to be gasping for air. I picked him up and got him out of the road, brought him to the shade in the grass, put some water in a tray there for him, and just sat with him for a few minutes. He couldn’t move and was just lying there😭I know nothing about rodents but it was honestly heartbreaking. I could only stay for a bit and had to get back to work.
I went to check on him at the end of my shift and he had sadly passed away. I sat in my car and cried. I’m assuming he ate poison that I was unaware was outside of our restaurant until today.
I’m sorry if this sounds ignorant, but is there not a better way? I understand rats and mice can’t be in restaurants, but this just seems sick and inhumane. The poor baby was just outside living his life, ate poison, and then suffered a painful death. Maybe I’m too sensitive but this genuinely ruined my day, I don’t even wanna go to work tomorrow. Rest in peace honey.
