We should just catch a few and crucify them as an example to the others.

I think crucifixion is more intense and sends a stronger message than being downed by a cat.
Mice are used to being chased by cats:
but they aren't used to being crucified.

The Romans knew how to run an empire. That's all I'm saying.

It was neither Roman, nor holy, nor really much of an empire.
