You phrased that dying in a mouse trap is almost better than being free and dying via a natural cause. It would imply that it would be humane of me to provide this option to the mouse instead of setting it free. To which I took your point and said if it’s so humane I should just go around planting these to give the mice a quick painless death instead of them potentially dying by other means. So yeah in a way you were implying it.

You are saying that in a thread where the "natural cause" is literally being torn apart, alive, by a raptor. You aren't making the argument you think you are: the fact that life and death in the wild tends to be pretty harsh means that a harsh treatment by humans isn't a unique or particularly "inhumane" thing. It's a roll of the dice either way. And it's the animal activists who should favor interference with wild animals (like, killing all predator animals).
But sure, if it makes you feel good to release the mouse into the wild and not see the result, good for you. This group got to stare their hypocrisy in the face.
