Today, while standing by the kitchen window I noticed a mouse running across our lawn on top of the snow. I called my two daughters to come see it, but by the time they got to the window a hawk was shredding the poor thing to pieces. My kids didn't stop crying for two hours. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found a mouse in my kitchen. Wanting to go about it the humane way, I captured the little guy and released it outside. I then watched as a stray cat in my yard noticed and brutally murdered it. No good deed… FML
Today, after we finished making my 6 year-old daughter a net to catch an injured baby bird, when she went out to catch it she witnessed a stray cat catch and eat it. FML
Today, I came home to find a mouse in the garage. Frantic, I killed it. My 7-year-old son came home from soccer, and started crying because he couldn't find the class pet, Mr. Whiskers. I killed my son's class pet. FML
Today, I ran over a squirrel. I saw it twitching, so I backed over it to end its suffering. It wasn't a squirrel; it was a kitten. The children it belonged to watched as I ran over their kitten. Twice. FML
Today, my daughter, who can pick up spiders and even snakes without flinching, screamed at the top of her lungs because she saw a mouse. Um, what? FML
Today, I found a mouse stuck in a glue trap at work. I had to take it home to get it off with oil, and then I released it outside. Twenty minutes later, the cat returned it to me, dead. After that, the dogs dug it up where I buried it. Sorry, mouse. FML
Today, I woke up to what sounded like twigs snapping. Turns out it was the skull of a live mouse being crushed in my cat's jaws. FML
Today a big-ass hawk swooped down and carried off my daughter’s dog. FML
Today, I ran into my infant daughter's room because I thought I heard her crying, and found she was still sound asleep in her crib. The screams were coming from the mouse our cat was using to paint her bedroom walls. FML
Today, I found my cat downstairs with a squirrel dangling from his mouth. When I saw this, I yelled at my cat to put it down. He did. Turns out the squirrel was still alive and run. I had to spend the next three hours chasing it out of my house. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That sounds like a traumatic experience, especially if they had just finished watching Ratatouille or something. I totally would have cried.

Theres a line between not caring about the life of a rodent and being sadistic. You crossed it.

This seems so fake. How close was it to your window that you could see in such detail this mouse being torn apart? And when you noticed couldn't you just tell your kids 'oh he's gone now, sorry'

Maybe the kids got there, saw it, and a second later, the hawk got it. I don't find it hard to believe at all. I know for a fact, that when a baby bird gets captured by a larger one (seagull, etc), it squeals loudly and flails around tragically. I know this, because I saw it happen only a few years ago outside my window. It's not all that hard for it to happen.

I would pay almost any amount to watch a mouse get picked up and shredded by a hawk. it's one of those must see before I die sort of things. no FYL or YDI here. just good clean fun.
