Found this behind my microwave...

What do you think will happen to a house mouse stuck in an unknown location outdoors miles away...

Humane is a good sprung bar mousetrap. I've had one go off literally seconds after placing it behind a box and going to leave the room. Dead as a doormat just like that. Never had one suffering on me.

Whatever you're comfortable doing though.

It's valid point. For me though I don't believe I have the right to end some things life because it's inconveniently taken up residence in my house. I did make sure my captives were released near some farm outbuildings and good cover. Their fate is in their own hands (paws?) - I'm giving them a chance, whereas a mouse trap is no chance. Live and let live!

I think an animals instinct is to survive, and a mouse (or any animal) would always want to escape rather than die. Sometimes this will work out, other times it will cause more suffering. Sometimes the most humane choice is to end the life.

But I think a mouse has a fair chance of survival in a park at night with bushes and shelter, which is why I chose that option.

Presumably the mouse didn't materialise out of house dust and thus must have come from somewhere, at some point in it's ancestry, outside of the house. This suggests then that they are capable of moving outdoors and do not unceromoniously explode when removed from between four solid walls.

Mice live outside all the time but by taking a mouse from your house and chucking it outside in some random field you are cutting its chances and for that matter hoping it won't come back. If you simply take it round to the back of a takeaway and let it loose by the bins you're just passing it on for someone else to make the choice again.

It's a destructive and possibly disease carrying pest which looks cute. Cockroaches don't look cute so no mercy for them.

Still your choice.

On the flip side my mum heard the spring trap go once, went down to have a look and found a little mouse squirming in the trap, pinned down by it's neck. She released it quick and it legged it, had she not it would have been suffering a fair bit before death.

If a mouse got hit by the bar on the neck and was still alive let alone concious then you need a much better trap...
 
It looks tame? :o Maybe someone has just lost it and you've put it out into the wild. It's going to have a far from humane death now! :p
 
Original op

Should have grown some and killed it.
Let's take a look at this story.
The op released the mouse.
Said mouse found another house to live in where a small child lived called Johnny.
Mouse contaminates new house with Salmonella-Hantavirus and even Lyme Disease.
Little Johnny Is only 3 years old but is going to die soon because the mouse spread salmonella over the surface that little Johnny dropped his sweets on, his sticky little fingers wiped over the germs and as he put the sweets back into his mouth he got infected.
Later that day Johnny gets Salmonella developed diarrhoea, fever, and abdominal cramps 12 to 72 hours after infection. The illness usually lasts 4 to 7 days, and most persons recover without treatment.

In some persons the diarrhoea may be so severe that the patient needs to be hospitalised. In these patients, the Salmonella infection may spread from the intestines to the blood stream, and then to other body sites and can cause death.

Johnny was buried 5 days later, and his mother distort with pain and anguish killed herself.

Never release vermin, kill it always.
