Not sure it is. The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 specifies a number of animals in Schedule 9 that mustn't be released from captivity such as grey squirrels, muntjac deer, African clawed toads but surprisingly doesn't include brown rats. I do wonder if there's anything anywhere else that prohibits it as they are vermin.It's vermin - if you trap it it's illegal to set it free.
