Oh man, so they die of impaction? That's cruel. I remember years ago when I used to live in MN one of the neighbors would set cage traps. He'd get home from work and just throw them in the river that was in his back yard. I'd hate the little buggers too, but I couldn't get myself to be that cruel.

The sponge bit reminds me of a way eschimos hunt or used to hunt, saw it on Discovery. They'd get a flexible straight bone and freeze it in a u-shape. Bears or whatever would swallow it and it would open in their stomachs, tearing it up. You then just look for the dead animals and voila.
