(C. Proxmire, May 5, 2015)
A mouse met its unpleasant demise last week as a man and his brother made a You Tube video tazering the mouse to death.
The man wielding the stun gun was wearing his work shirt, and various reports confirmed he was an employee of Glory Supermarket in Oak Park. The video shows the man with the mouse in a box from PetCo. As the mouse scurries in the box, the man laughs and shocks it until it dies.
The man posted the video to You Tube, but it was removed because it violated terms of service. Liveleak continues to host the video. The video and more information is available at http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=fcc_1430236951. (Caution: graphic)
According to reports, Oak Park police tracked down the man after receiving complaints. They have confiscated the tazer and are exploring possible charges. According to Fox 2 News, the man has been let go from his position at Glory.
