Australia: farmer’s cruel method of killing mice

Australia has been battling a mouse plague for months, and farmers are in despair for fear of losing all their crops.

The most affected rural areas were in the states of Queensland and New South Wales. One of the victims used a cruel method to get rid of the hundreds of mice he found in his house.

In a controversial method, he threw live mice into a barrel with fire, aided by a grain-hauling machine.

The subject who used these methods is Andrew Jones, a farmer, who shared on TikTok the video in which he is seen applying the technique to kill mice.

The video for the controversial episode quickly went viral and garnered over 6.2 million views in no time.

The images generated completely opposite reactions, even among farmers affected by mouse plague.

The discussion revolved around questions about Andrew’s method of getting rid of the mice, but many were also supportive of the young man in the face of the obvious scale of the plague he had to face.

On the one hand, some of those who suffered the rodent invasion and suffered huge losses, supported the action Jones shared on TikTok.

On the other hand, many social media users criticized the farmer in the comments section for the bloody way of killing mice.
