- dio33, on 10/12/2007, -5/+51Iran just released a statement denying that this mass killing ever happened.
- Crosshare, on 10/12/2007, -1/+35"When she didn't think it could get any worse, it did. She found her daughter trying to eat a dead mouse"
Dude, WTF? - Fejerro, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21Time to build that better mousetrap......
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19I wonder what PETA had to say about this. And how ***** ridiculous they sounded.
- Locke40, on 10/12/2007, -3/+21how stupid is the girl who was eating the dead mouse? how ***** up is that? i wonder how it tasted....
- evilesttoast, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15Forget the mice, what about her freaky were-cat daughter?
- wbreim, on 10/12/2007, -4/+19Thundercats would pwn those rodents back to hell.
- h4mx0r, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16and a toothbrush. The mice might not like the taste of listerine!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13When it burns, you know it's working.
- lostboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Just imagine the expression on their cats face when he walks around the corner....
the mice have rebelled /miaaaaaooow - glucoseboy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13Took me the longest time to figure out what was wrong with the headline.
- griz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Thousands? I seem to recall the word millions being used quite often.
- Rikkochet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Because unlike you they have some concept of the scope of the job of eradicating an infestation of thousands of mice.
- ziffel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8The final count at the end of the video was 100,000,000 (a hundred million) dead mice.
- superal1394, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8I think the mass invasion of idiots on Digg is more interesting personally.
- norle, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Buried for ridiculous title.
- UKMusicFan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Ugh, that was nasty. Reminds me of the Ancient Greek philosopher who was allegedly eaten to death by hordes of mice.
- Zoctogon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3@Smackhero
That is the problem, farrmland is not a balanced ecosystem, and this is just one of the prices we pay for flattening our eucalypt forests and turning it into paddocks. - darkamster07, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3the whole vid I was thinking: flamethrower
- 177emc2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Are they farming in that soil they poisoned ?
- AcidPhysx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Ok and then what do you do with all the foxes? Looks like Daniel Quinn was right, as if there was an question. Ishmael.org for the answers to everything.
- tracydanger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I thought it was funny that in the middle of the video it showed a cat and the cat was sitting there not knowing what to do. Must've been a little overwhelming.
- chaosgurl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Foxes are already infesting Australia and don't even think about bringing thousands of cats in
- smackhero, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3ok, say each mouse is 20g. a red fox can eat 1kg of food a day. that means in 1 day, a single red fox would be able to eat 50 largish mice. 400 foxes = 20,000 mice a day. the problem didn't spring up overnight. if they had started bringing in foxes to the area when the problem was limited to just few million mice (or even sooner), then they could have significantly attenuated the problem within a year and slowly reduce the local mice population to a reasonable ecological balance over 2-3 years without significant environmental/ecological damage.
also, the problem of infestation is largely one of population density. by introducing natural predators to that farm, the rodent population would have naturally spread itself out to a reasonable degree. having a balanced ecosystem is the only way to prevent this kind of unnatural population explosion. - pooper, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Is that Cris Collinsworth?
- ohcoaster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1ahahah the cat at 2:40 is like WTF?
- hobbers, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1If the foxes really are a pest after the mice are gone, just kill them and sell the furs. People still raise foxes for fur today. It's common in colder climates.
- fantasticjon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1They would need to import 50,000 cats. I'm thinking they needed to rig up some contraption with a 1 way door. once the mice enter they are corralled into a firepit either using some mechanical means or gravity. The delicious smell of burning mouse would draw more hungry mice.
- OpticalLiam, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4I, for one, welcome our pig-eating mass-infesting overlords.
- mandarin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I guess poisoning would be more humane than setting the place on fire..
- designerjoe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Gross
- cowabuse, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1rofl!!!! YouTube comment: "CRIKEY!"
- cekim, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I was thinking weedwhacker.
- smackhero, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1give them away as pets?
i dunno. 400 foxes isn't going to cause much of an environmental impact compared to dusting the area with arsenic. since foxes are native to the area anyway, they would just be integrated into the neighboring wildlife once the foodsupply was diminished and distributed as well. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2That scene would scare the piss out of my cats. One or two mice=Fun and playful death. 100 Million...LOL the cats are going to be eaten alive.
Also, you guys on the above posts, criticizing his spelling error...who cares, god if every person here were supposed to be 100% grammatically correct...nobody could post. Lighten up a little, it was a cool post. - Yaki, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1lol, neko
- sweetthing411, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Thats nasty.
- smackhero, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1if they're already infesting australia, then wouldn't it just be a matter of moving them from one region to another?
- mochimon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0the poison container: 1080P
- insovietrussia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I remember this plague, and watching this very footage on the news when I was 9 years old.
Apparently the mice were eating pets and livestock from the inside out. Mouse corpses were turning up for months after wards. - newyawker, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1WOW. 100 million mice were killed by the poison! JESUS CHRIST BATMAN!
- SkippyDoorknob, on 10/12/2007, -5/+5like chicken
- JAWA, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1that ***** is crazy!
- foolfromhell, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Wow, like Rabbits, Mice also thrive in Australia!
- Yaki, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Foxes wouldn't work too well. Look at all of those mice. If the mice attempt to eat grown cattle and succeed in eating the limbs off baby cows, imagine what they would do to a lightweight fox. It would be crushed before they could eat it alive.
- EvilFerret, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1How ***** up are these people living in a house like that? Have they ever heard of a hotel? The video makes it sound like they were living this way for awhile before they finally called for help.
- iamhumble, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1it's like who let the rats out .. squeak... squeak.... :-P
- monosyth, on 10/12/2007, -15/+12i was trying to figure that too. "plague" would be the better word here.
- BZKyle, on 10/12/2007, -7/+3....Will it blend?
