(YOUTUBE) – No good deed goes unpunished and a West Point cadet found that out the hard way.

In this YouTube video, the cadet says he caught a mouse in his barrack but didn’t want to kill him. So he decided to let the mouse go back out into the wild. The mouse is seen running from the crash can while the cadet wishes him luck.

As the cadet picks up trash from the can, you can see a hawk swoop in and grab the little mouse and fly off with him. Stunned, the cadet exclaims, “I’m a horrible person!” But we all know he’s not.
