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

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.
