Are they like rats, mice , squirrels and other vermin where, once you
have caught them, it is illegal to release them back into the wild?

No, while of the animals you list, it is only illegal to release a grey
squirrel into the wild.

Under that Act, whatever it is called. I think that you will find
that it is also illegal to release rats under Common Law (i.e. causing
a public nuisance).

Not as far as I know.

Besides, even if it were, who would be likely to know or be able to prove it
if you had?
