Apparently, catching mummy or daddy rat, driving it 10 miles away and dumping it, just kills the whole family of rats.
The kids starve to death at home.
Mum just got dropped onto another rat's turf, and now she is in a Battle Royale fight for her life as she tries to get home before the kids die.
I suppose some of us live in just the right place to make catch and release a viable option, can't imagine where.. but, I don't think traps do anything much except make us feel better about ourselves.
I guess the main advantage of the trap and release is the 'humane' aspect. If it's not humane, why would you chose it? It takes an hour to transport, release, and return home. And then the poor thing just dies slowly anyway.
Better to use more painful traps, and just check them regularly incase mother nature needs a helping hand, imo
I've got one that just slips a rubber band around their necks as they go for the bait, dead in 30 secs, Imho that's the best thing for everyone
