Based on the law, it is the duty of the captor to uphold the welfare of all the animals that are within human control. While the implication of this law is vague towards the capture, release, and control of the animal, methods that might compromise the welfare of the animal can be subjected under challenge. If the control measures cause unnecessary suffering, then this will be considered an offence according to the law.

Another law that mentions the welfare of the Nassau County rodents is found in the Section 14 of WCA of 1981. According to this law, no animals should be released back in the wild especially if they are not a common resident of the wild such as rodents which are considered as urban mammals. According to the WCA, some of the animals that are included in this prohibition are the black rat, dormouse, grey squirrels, and Mongolian Gerbil. There is absolutely no clause that prohibits the release of other species of rodents. Releasing the common brown rats is not unlawful based on the law. While it may be legal, releasing them back to their surrounding might be counter productive since it can have a detrimental effect on the welfare of the community.
