I had a mouse problem once upon a time, and the new "humane" traps didn't actually kill them. I got tired of bludgeoning them with a shovel and drowned one, thinking it would be easier. That was brutal and horrific, and I went back to using the shovel.

There is nothing humane about drowning an animal.

    I had the same experience about the mouse problem. Long ago parents caught a mouse with a trap that won't kill them. With no better idea of what to do with it, they decided to drown it. We watched it drown slowly and painfully. They never do that again.
