Depends on whether it is cute or not.
Whenever deciding if a creature in nature should live or die, cuteness is usually the characteristic that decides sympathy. That's the standard our society has set....it's more tragic for a butterfly to die than a caterpillar. You are cute, you have a higher chance to survive. People will think you are a monster for killing a bunny, but if it's a rat, they want blood!!!
Guess I'm doomed.

Anything living that enters my house, that is not of the human race - deserves to die
(ok, I am scaredy cat, and will only dispose of them dead)

I would spare it......
There was a time my ex and I had a mousie problem.....he decided to put some peanut butter out on the counter and sat across the room with his 22 waiting for it to come out. Didn't have to wait too long and BAM.....that was the end of that poor little mousie.

I have 4 cats...they did catch one on the deck...and I gave it to the snake...but probably wouldn't do it again..although..it was a ..country mouse
the cats might just play it to death..one might kill it..I've seen them play all afternoon with one I bought that the snake didn't want..
personally, I'd probably try to catch it and throw it back outside...
palemtto bugs here....I kill them...and they are gigantic

Why would you want to kill a mouse? I'm a technophobe but I've never had the urge to take a hockey stick to my mouse, if I did I'd be afraid I might end up like this.

This behavior seems a bit odd. Is that why he's your ex??

Mice are evil. In FL, field mice will chew away at your home, eat your carpet, chew through boxes in pantries. They're driven inside by rain, typically.
Mice must Die

So you are suggesting getting rid of rain?

Ewww I don't know how you can stand having that thing in the house..guess I'm just not a snake fan.....
Yuck!
Have to agree on the snake-can't stand those things!
As for the mouse, Cubbie would be on patrol-I won't go near them, either. Kill it.

Entering my home uninvited is not a good instinct, regardless of species.
