I suggested that we should get the addresses of the people running the meeting to give us places to drop the mice off. This suggestion was greeted by a mix of "great idea!" and "we'll call the police!" from the attendees.

Catch and release for bears. For lots of animals. But mice/rats? No way. Good old fashioned snap traps are the only way. Yes, ban the poisons -- too much risk of the mouse/rat dying where a dog or bird or other animal might decide it looks yummy. Plus, TRUST ME, you don't want that mouse/rat to die inside your walls!
