It wasnt a humane trap, I killed it.
Rats are disease-ridden vermin, and although I agree with you, poison getting into the food chain is bad news. Disease-ridden rats scratching away in my loft, which they are entering from (the empty) next door's loft, leaving droppings and foul urine smells everywhere, and keeping me away for endless nights has not exactly earned any favour from me.
In the wild, although I would never encourage them, I accept they have their place. In my house, however, they do not.
