Is killing a mouse worthy of a news report?

A family of five in Hong Kong staged an overnight hunt for a mouse that bit the mother of the family after she had stepped on its tail.

The residents of a high-rise apartment in Yuen Long rarely see mice in their building. But when the elder son came home on Sunday morning after midnight, he reported seeing a mouse in the dining room. The chase awoke the whole family. The mouse escaped behind the washing machine after biting the mother. But the family moved the machine and killed it.
