Having said that I caught mine during a cold snap. They seemed a little slow in the morning, looked to be soaking in their own sweat and piss - must be distressing to be stuck in a trap for hours. Then got dumped in a field in the middle of nowhere. Lots of folks said, they’ll be fine, but I dunno.
Traditional trap is cheap, quick and effective.
For real sadists there are the various versions of the DIY water trap. Though you can make a ‘humane’ version with just enough water to stop em jumping out of the bucket but not enough to drown em.

Or for the really caring types you can poison them so that their blood congeals and they die a painful death with the added possibility of perhaps poisoning someones cat to the bargain, or, alternatively you you can snap their back with a spring trap or maybe trap them by a front leg disjointing that leg slowly as the spring force bears tighter down on the limb as it eats into the flesh, not a lot of hope you a 3 legged mouse possibly with an infection in the stump as it decays. But Hey Ho! you don't want to drown them in a minute or so do you?
