    The rat trap pictured in the article is interesting. Small CO2 cylinder releases gas into a capture chamber.

    From my basic understanding of mammal physiological responses to gases: wouldn’t nitrogen gas (as an oxygen displacer) be less stressful than CO2 (as an oxygen displacer)?

      I didn’t look closely at the picture. The article was talking about crushing the head and dropping the body to decay on the ground.
