The message
from "Alan Holmes" contains these words:

Whilst many people accept the necessity of pest control, that doesn't mean
they would condone wanton cruelty to the 'pest'. Would you think it OK to
kill squirrels by roasting them alive over a slow fire, for example?

Would you consider a time of 10 seconds, or less, to death, cruelty?

It wouldn't *BE* only ten seconds. The animal could hold its breath for
a lot longer than that, and even with lungs full of water, death isn't
immediate.

I wouldn't drown any creature. Except perhaps a politician, at birth.
