    Area of Science:

    • Zoology
    • Animal Welfare Science
    • Pest Management

    Context:

    • Millions of injurious small mammals, including rodents like mice, rats, moles, and musk-rats, are killed annually in the Netherlands.
    • Concerns regarding the methods used for killing these animals and their effectiveness have been raised.
    • Studies were commissioned by the Netherlands Society for the Protection of Animals to investigate these issues.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of various methods used for killing small mammals in the Netherlands.
    • To assess the level of harm inflicted on these animals during lethal control.
    • To explore and propose possibilities for reducing animal suffering in pest management.

    Summary:

    • The paper reports on investigations into the methods employed for killing millions of injurious small mammals in the Netherlands.
    • It critically examines the efficacy of these lethal techniques and identifies areas where harm to the animals can be minimized.
    • Key findings regarding the effectiveness and welfare implications of current pest control practices are presented.

    Impact:

    • Provides crucial data for improving animal welfare standards in the control of small mammal populations.
    • Informs policy and practice for more humane pest management strategies in the Netherlands.
    • Contributes to the scientific understanding of lethal control methods and their impact on animal welfare.
