I also agree that killing mice is not that big of a deal, but I'm in the category that killing cows is also not that big of a deal. I'm just saying that i highly disagree with people who will put one animal's life over another based on how much they like them. It just seems kind of hypocritical to me. To me, they're all the same...a candidate for supper. If you don't care that free living mice (and rabbits...they're a little more cuddly) are viciously torn up in harvesting equipment, why should you care if cattle that was raised to be food anyway (so they didn't really have much of a life to live) is pretty much painlessly killed?

I'm not trying to get anyone to stop being a vegetarian or anything, but it makes me mad when some vegetarians (especially the ones that don't eat organic foods) think that they've never had anything to do with the death of a single animal and they try to chew me out for eating meat (I've gotten yelled at quite a few times). I respect vegetarians and those who want to protect animals (except PETA...they're just plain dumb), but i've found a lot of them to be hypocrites. I just don't like it when I get yelled at from a hypocrite (i'm not saying that i felt like i was yelled at in this thread or that anyone here is a hypocrite, i'm just ranting now).
