Many states have laws like that. Many people ignore them. I must confess that the combination of hav-a-hart and drowning doesn't sit well with me. If you feel you must kill the critter, why not do it humanely?
As a law-abiding person, you might check your state laws on euthanasia and animal cruelty.

That may depend on the state. Definition of humane may differ depending on state law, and may be influenced by who is doing the killing. In most cases, it is probably best to call F&W or Animal Control, if you aren't able to humanely kill wildlife.

How does one humanely kill a skunk that has been trapped in a live trap?
