I don't think killing him will solve anything. It just changes the owners.

Killing the first one probably won't any more than killing a single mouse doesn't stop an infestation, but once the mice realize that you got a couple of cats they will find the exit.

That's why you need to put traps by the exit too, the mice know too much and might potentially regroup to return with better tactics. You've got to get them all in one swift purge.

Wouldn't it make more sense to take their money than their lives? Use the pheromones to make the billionaire transfer all his assets to groups fighting climate change.

It's not the death that stops billionaires. It's the fear of death.

Agreed, but these πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€~~mouses~~ mice own the maze, so it seems...

Update: Any references for the "meese or "messies" would be helpful... Thanks!

It's actually meesies.

No but it might make the new owners think a bit.

The thing is that we've gone through multiple generations of new owners each thinking a bit more than the last. Now they know how to appear decent while continuing to exploit earth, humans and other animals.

And people keep voting for their puppets.

I think it's worth a shot.

The point would be to make wealth/money toxic. The more you hoard, the less likely you are to survive.
