Ah, I see the problem: you've got an infestation of mice. They could eat all your food and cause a great inconvenience. But don't worry, I'll just feed them poison.
Isn't there any other way?
It's okay, they only live about two years anyway and have small brains, so it doesn't matter much if they die.
That's planet Earth in the way of our journey. Its human inhabitants only have a lifespan of 70 to 90 years and an average IQ of 100. It'd take an extra fifteen minutes to go round it.
Well, I can't be bothered with a detour. Blast 'em to fuck.
