    The reason I liked having the option of watching the action shots is to be able to evaluate and decide for myself how clean/humane the traps were for pest control applications by actually seeing what happens, not to take pleasure in watching an animal die.
    SUGGESTION:
    I agree with another commenter who said that it would be nice if you gave a review or a "humaneness" rating. I understand that if you use a trap at all, then you must think it is humane enough to be used ethically, but providing a score on a "good / better / best" type of scale would be really useful. I think that is really in line with the channel promoting humane practices as well, since you can educate people on what styles of traps are most humane with a rationale to go with it.
    If you come across styles or designs of traps that you think are inhumane and would not use or demonstrate on real animals, I would find it interesting if you provided your rationale for that as well - a review of the design and how it works and what makes it inhumane.
    Again, this would be educational and it would promote humane pest control practices.
    Thanks for everything you do for your viewers!
    PS - to add to that, some of the best information I ever got from this channel was from you talking about poison and glue traps being inhumane and the logic behind that. I will always remember those and I think about this channel whenever I see those styles of traps in stores.

The reasons all seem very legitimate and are in no way a reflection of you "cowing" to the TH-cam overlords. It seems you have spent enough time and money trying to find a solution, money that would have been better spent on this channel. I am one viewer that isnt going anywhere, as you said, the focus should be on the traps, not the kill. If people aren't getting the bloodshed they want from your channel and that causes them to unsubscribe...then fine. Don't let the door hit you on the way out!

You are absolutely correct that the your MO is about the traps and controlling the pests, and not emphasizing how graphic it can be. We all have imaginations, and our minds can make up what’s behind a triggered rat / mouse trap without having to see it. The traps you show are great. The designs are all over the board and your channel has inspired the imaginations of many people to share and send you their solutions to the same issue.

How do you rate the reliability, humane-ness (in terms of quick clean kill, when it is a kill trap), etc. While you may be restricted in showing us I think we could all trust your personal evaluation in a scoring system that also gives you a reason to do a recap & review video on occasion.

      Sure he does. He's got several videos that feature kill traps that involve somewhat prolonged deaths. The most obvious examples are any of the drowning traps - the animals swim until they're exhausted and then drown. There are also traps where the animal is tightly snared in some way that results in a death by suffocation (think compression traps or a trap that bands an animal's chest.)

    Thanks for what you do Shawn. I subscribed because I liked seeing all the different inventions all for the one purpose. It amazes me how creative people are. I don't remember if I saw your videos before the censor, I just know I'm a subscriber for life!
    I liked the part of your video of you constructing the trap more than the action shots!

    New to your channel here and I just want to say: I like that you're against the animal suffering bit. I've been looking into different mouse traps lately, and the videos I keep finding on TH-cam have been showing exactly what you said: electric traps, glue traps, etc. that just exist to make the mouse suffer... and based on a LOT of the comments I read, there are some seriously sick people who exclusively watch these videos just to watch the mouse suffer an agonizing death.
    Personally... I just want a mouse trap that kills quickly and effectively without causing the mouse too much suffering. This 'Jaws of Life' trap definitely fits the bill: It reminds me of your average cliché mouse trap with the spring trap and the bait, but this one limits them to where they can only stick their head in one area, whereas the typical mouse trap allows them to roam all over the trap... and if/when it activates, it mostly breaks legs, traps tails, etc. and otherwise just puts the mouse in a position where it will die, but it needs to suffer tremendously before that happens. With this... they stick their head in, click, dead. Quick, effective, and hopefully painless.

    I just stumbled across your video and I have to say. You are honest, caring and straight forward. I admire the engineering in your stuff and the fact you spent your own money to keep the masses happy is awesome. I say if people get upset and unsubscribe over not seeing the gore and the kill video then let them go because you will have many more subscribers like my self who will support your honesty and engineering. Keep up the good work. I'm a new subscriber now

    That's the reason i enjoy watching your videos is seeing different types of traps/deterrents that are out there to control pests, and keep health on top.
