Some say it is wrong to wage war against the mouse. I say they do not understand the threat.
They do not understand the mouse possesses deadly weapons of mass infection. It has already unleashed this unseen killer against hundreds of innocent Americans.
The Centers for Disease Control has identified countless secret sites and mobile facilities dedicated to the creation of Hantavirus, which is a precursor to the deadly Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome — HPS.
Some have argued we should wait. For proof. For confirmation that the mouse harbors HPS capabilities. In my view, the longer we wait, the stronger and bolder the mouse will become. Its viral capacity will proliferate, and Red Sand Road will become a more dangerous place.
Armed with this intelligence, I could not wait for the mouse to bring sudden terror and suffering. I could not permit my family to die horribly in a cloud of infectious aerosolized saliva and excreta.
Some say I am at fault for invading its Colorado habitat. That the mouse has not attacked Minnesota. I say it is just a matter of time.
Some believe we can address this danger by simply resuming the old approach to inspections and containment. But inspections were continuously foiled. Mice can gain entry through the tiniest of openings. Containment did not work in the past and it will not keep us safe in the future.
This resistance must be crushed, here. Before Golden Valley becomes Death Valley.
