That's very humane to catch and release rats.
You are quite right, catch and release is much more humane than poisoning them.
I didn't think your idea about getting a dog was a joke. I thought it was a good idea.
We have two dogs and I've never seen a rat.
But then someone said rats are nocturnal, so perhaps they dance and party after we've gone to bed.
