Couldn't a piece of hard plastic have done the same to poor Festivus esophagus?

This was a piece of hardware cloth, a piece of the cage. And it was way too big for it to have been eaten by the mouse. The mouse was a hopper, fully furred but tiny, and the metal was 1/3" wide. It was stuck in the mouse. most possibly buried in the mouses body. I don't think plastic would have pierced his throat like this did, it looks like long thorns or spikes and is rusty. I didn't see it, but who LOOKS for something like that?
I will from now on, though...
