Continuing the conversation about the animal police over at Smells Horsey, I wonder if they would have let me have this behemoth as a mouser?! (Maybe the Oregon Humane Society is more sane than the Santa Fe Animal Shelter, where I wasn't allowed to adopt a cat because I told them that he would be living ... gasp ... outside.)

Looks to me like the below pretty much sums up the peril of the silly ideology of some animal rescue and adoption agencies that animals are better off living inside.

Have you guys seen the kids flick Mousehunt with the incomparable Nathan Lane?

Synopsis--Two hapless brothers inherit an old mansion from their father which would be worth millions, if only they could evict a smart, tenacious mouse that is intent on staying in the house and making life miserable for the brothers.

It's one of my favorites. I can't help thinking of the cat ... Catzilla ... they adopt from the Human Society ... Check it out. Rent it if you haven't seen it. Hilarious for kids and adults.
