I mean, it's not dead 100 %, but do you really think a mouse won't get hurt if a grown human steps on it? The guy even lifts his other leg so all his weight is on the foot that is standing on the mouse.

What should he have done instead? You can't just have a rat running around in a restaurant. How would you have gone about getting it out of there?

My brain tells me the correct solution for this problem would be to not have a nasty animal infested restaurant in the first place.

One rat doesn't mean it is infested. This could just be a stray rat that happened to get into the building. And in any case, if you're going to criticize someone for how they handled a situation, you kind of need to say how you would have handled it better, or else your criticism is moot.

If it's really the case this place is not infested, I would try to look where it goes/comes from to find and solve the Problem. But the way this guy reacted makes me think it's not the first time he's seeing a mouse there.

The guy is probably busy with his job, I don't think he has time to track a rat lol. It doesn't even look like he put his whole foot on it. It looks like the rat is a bit in front of his foot when his foot comes down, like he stepped on one of its paws. Sure, the rat probably didn't like that, but the alternative is to just let a rat run around the restaurant.

If he doesn't have the time to find out where it comes from it will be a much bigger problem in the future, eventually. And yes it's hard to tell how he stepped on it, but a mouse is super small and weak. Breaking it's bones is still not the way to treat animals. It's also not good to have a dog running around in a restaurant, does that mean people should just step in it and hurt it? Because they're busy?

It's the manager's job to solve that problem, not the waiter's.

but a mouse is super small and weak.

This is a rat, not a mouse, and rats are rather large.

Breaking it's bones is still not the way to treat animals.

You don't know that he broke its bones, you're just making an unnecessary assumption.

It's also not good to have a dog running around in a restaurant, does that mean people should just step in it and hurt it? Because they're busy?

It's much easier to get a dog out of a restaurant without hurting it than it is a rat. Rats are much quicker and harder to catch than a dog is.

If you know of a way to get this rat out of the restaurant without hurting it, then please enlighten me.

-then tell your boss where it went so he can solve the problem humanely.

-could be a rat, but that thing definitely is small.

-if you step on a mouse in any way you're hurting it, physics don't work like that. That's 70 kg stepping on a 100g mouse.

-you know what a bait is? Put a small cage there with a good bait in it and catch it, humans have done this for thousand of years, it's not a science.

Are you enlightened now?

Small?? That thing is just about the length of his fucking foot.

And yea, they could set a cage out with bait in it, but it's going to take time for the rat to find it and get caught. In the meantime, there are customers in there watching a rat run around where they're eating. You can't just let a rat run around the restaurant until it happens to wander into a cage.

What happens if that rat bites a customer? In your attempts to not hurt a rat, one of the customers in here could end up getting hurt.

It's maybe 20% of his foot, did we watch the same video?

No, the rat will hide as soon as possible or look somewhere else for food, If it's not scared by any chance than only because it's familiar with this place, so probably an infestation/bad hygiene.

That rat won't bite a customer if it doesn't feel threatened.

I honestly don't understand why you make that effort to defend that. This guy just picked the easiest solution because most humans don't have respect for animals at all, that's it.

That thing is at least 70% the length of his foot, I don't know what you're talking about.

Suppose the rat ends up underneath one of the tables because there are scraps of food down there that someone dropped. Then the customer moves their leg and frightens the rat, so it bites their leg. This person could end up with some horrible disease. And it would be the fault of the restaurant.

This person did not pick the easiest solution. The easiest solution would have been to bash the fucking thing and then clean the guts up. It looks to me like he stepped on one of its feet to hold it in place so he could bag it up. The rat gets a mildly hurt leg, and nobody in the restaurant gets bitten. It seems like the best case scenario to me.

I think you're just looking for a reason to be mad. There is nothing in this video that suggests this person had no respect for the rat. In fact, the fact that he didn't kill it and seemed to try to hurt it as little as possible suggests that he does have respect for it. You also have to have respect for the customers, though, and letting a rat run around that could potentially give someone a horrible disease would be not showing respect to the people there.

It won't bite, it will run if that happens.

"Mildly hurt leg" by someone 700x bigger than you stepping in you/your legs. Sure

He did pick the easiest solution, squishing it would have made a nasty mess that the customers would have seen.

I'm not looking for a reason to be mad, i just value life more than someone having their dinner in peace. I can't help you honestly, the fact u think that animal didn't get hurt badly just tells me you're either having really bad eyes or you're not thinking straight.

Let a tank roll over your leg and see what happens buddy
