Releasing rats and mice elsewhere is a sissy move; the trapper doesn't want the rodents to exist but doesn't want the moral responsibility of doing the killing and instead shifts the burden to someone else, allowing the animals to procreate and multiply in the meantime.
With rats, better to kill them asap with as little handling as possible to prevent getting a disease. They are wily fuckers, though. I know one grocery store owner who, after trying exterminators without success, finally got the job done by waiting next to a tunneling hole in his basement while holding a baseball bat.
