My daughter was like yours when she was young. She did not like to kill anything when she was younger. She was feeding some calves at rented farm. I put a gravity wagon in the barn with feed in it. I made a steel top so the birds and mice/rats could not get in it. I had the liner out of an old ice chest that we kept under the chute to catch any feed that did not go into the five gallon buckets. This liner/box was about 24 inch deep and galvanized. Mice and smaller rats could not jump/climb out of it. I would usually find several mice/rats in it everyday. I would kill them and go feed.
One day she goes to do the feeding on her way to town. For some reason there where bunch of mice in the liner(20-30). She did not want to kill them and did not want me to either. So she put one of the five gallon buckets on its side with some feed in it. She herds the mice into the bucket. She stands it up and puts another bucket down into the first bucket. So she has the mice caught between the buckets. She puts the buckets in her car and goes toward town. Where the county road meets the state road she stops and turns the mice loose in the ditch.
Later that night she tells me what she had done. She told me the mice would not be in our barn so all was well. I could not argue with her on that.
Now the funny part. About five hundred feet from where she dumped the mice lives a good friend of the family. A few days after she had dumped the mice I meet him in the feed story buying mouse poison. He was complaining about how he all of a sudden had mice all over his house and garage. LOL I did not tell him about what the daughter had done.

In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together.
