I applaud your Buddhist attitude here, but I personally cannot condone the
release of vermin who have plagued (literally) mankind for untold centuries.
I do agree with the trap, but then a trip to the vet for a fast and
professional...well, you know what.
Because although you obviously respect all living creatures, I don't
think you want to be responsible if that released rat bites a small
child--or worse.
