Honestly, who throws a live animal in the garbage and just leaves it there to rot?
Why Asmongold of WoW streamer fame, that's who. It's gross enough having a live animal crawl around in your garbage in the first place, but when you catch a rodent - you either dispatch it humanely or you let it go somewhere. I mean, deliberately starving a creature is bad enough, but given enough trash, it could always climb up, jump out and escape. Silly, silly man.
