I have just seen in a pound shop some awesome mouse and rat traps.
They are effectively cardboard tunnels with very strong glue on the
internal "walk-way".

It says on the packaging - please dispose of any caught animals
humanely!!

Certainly:
Lump Hammer? Stanley knife? or just a size ten footstep on the
complete issue?

It is not humane to leave them stuck to the trap for hours/days.

But do their legs get pulled off if you try and remove them?

How is it humane to stick them to anything for any time at all? I am
surprised they can be imported. I dare say someone should alert the
RSPCA. What sort of cnut would stock them?

Put them in a hospice, and let them die in peace.

Take them to Guantanamo bay instead!

Or lock them up without charge for 28 days.

Sure. Poison them and let them die in agony instead.

Good grief. A mouse has little imagination really..and probably zero
sense of time.

It will try pulling itself free, till it gets tired out, then lie there
waiting for whatever comes next.

SPLAT!

Better than having them walking around!

A 'snap' trap is better cos it stands a better chance of killing the beggars
straight away!

Gently remove the mouse from the glue and give it to your cat.

If you must kill your mice, at least dont torture them.

Catching them live and putting them outside costs nothing.

They're house mice, SFAIK they don't live outside. They'll just head
for the nearest house, to resume their function of leaving a trail of
urine and droppings across every surface where food has been handled.
Or they'll be intercepted by a cat on the way.

There's no bunny hugger route to dealing with them, releasing them
just passes your problem, and the problems caused by the myriad
offspring produced in their short lives, on to many other. Bite the
bullet and just kill them.

Why would a cat want glue?

To sniff it.
