Actually, that's not as likely as you might think. Mines, particularly antipersonnel mines are designed not to be set off by any random small animal -- that's why it takes a certain amount of weight and pressure to set one off, usually in the neighborhood of 20-30 kg for pressure detonators and 2-5 kg for tripwires and rod-type detonators. You don't want your mines to go off prematurely, before they can blow up the bad guy...
