Man traps mouse and, unfortunately, frees it into the wild

This military cadet is a very sweet guy. He has a mouse trapped in his dorm-room trash can and wants to give it another shot at life. So he releases the cute little critter into the wild and feels great about himself. For about 10 seconds. Watch the video and see just how quickly your good intentions can be chewed up and spat right out by Mother Nature, red in tooth and claw. No matter how many times you watch "The Lion King," it’s still tough to watch the circle of life play out like this.
