Hopefully it helps! Killing them is not an option for me or my partner, so we did a fair bit of research. We found a lovely little wooded stream to drop the mice off at, and we made sure to sprinkle some good mouse food around the area before we let them out (since their survival rate will be quite low without some kind of help).
My partners are very against it and I was too, but I had been reaching a wall and disabilities were making things even harder to the point where I felt like I needed to do something. I had been avoiding poison because there is a falcon that loves our rewilded yard and I don’t want to poison him.
I totally feel you. Hopefully this works for you. Barring that, I hope you and your partners are able to reach an accomodation on this. You sound really frustrated and defeated here, so hopefully they can help you, or work with you on a different solution.
You need to take them a fair distance away. The recommendations I’ve seen are to take them at least 3 kilometers (~2 miles) away.
Thank you for the advice (and the use of a reasonable measurement), I will take them to the next town and find out
