Why?

Because they will not have access to the sort of food they are used to, so
they will starve.

or invade someone elses house, do you really want to give someone else
that problem?

Our release point is over a mile from the nearest habitation and is a
suitable mouse habitat.

How do you know for certain that it is a suitable mouse habitat?

I'd also rather give the local predators a chance
of a meal than just kill in cold blood.

So you are happy for them to be killed, possibly slowly and very painfully,
but too cowardly to do it yourself?

And, using a nip trap results in an instantanious death, whereas a cat will
torment it for hours.
