[@The_Mad_Chef78]

This trap actually seems to take advantage of the mice natural instincts. They seems to flock to this trap while they are very wary of many other styles of trap. Too bad these aren't being made anymore

[@daridon2483]

I think is not only because of how bulky it is, but also because it is way too efficient, and it would make them go out of business in a short time

[@minhducnguyen674]

It got so many parts that require different material sources. This will increase the number of steps required to make the traps, driving up the cost.

[@michaeltheoret8913]

Living in Vermont (USA) , I often see turkey vultures soaring over open fields during the warmer months ( They migrate to and from the Northeast due to Winters being inhospitable for these large birds) . Amazing just how efficient they are in flying. I wonder if vultures soar not just looking for a meal but just out of the sheer joy of being able to fly. I believe in Animal Sentience existing in many Species of Animals . A neat thing about why vultures typically have bald heads is baldness is a special sanitary adaptation to avoid meat scraps and blood from sticking to their heads like it would had they feather/down covered heads . Vultures are very important and need to be safeguarded .
