different people different opinions. Mice are traditionally regarded as vermin, but more recently as pets. I guess it's how you look at things. IAre you asking the question in a "it's sick to eat vermin" way or a "it's sick to eat a cuddly pet" way? 'd be more concerned with things like candy cigarettes (if they're still allowed to make them).
How can it be sick to eat a chocolate or candy mouse? Have you never had a chocolate bunny or duck - or worse still ( by your strange reasoning!) birds eggs, that is of course an Easter Egg? I might add, children, thank goodness, don't associate this harmless pleasure with anything sinister - unless of course, someone tells them different!!
mawallen, its ok if you eat the head first, then they don't know what is happening!
darth, they no longer call them sweet cigs, they are now candy sticks! still in containers which look like a cig packet, and still look like pretend cigarettes. Like yourself I would be more worried about making cigs seem like harmful fun than eating mice.
In fact, whats wrong with candy mice? I made a wee mice n hamster stirfry tonight.
