This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition Ban the use of Glue Traps - or Sticky Boards - to catch and kill rats and mice.
These incredibly cruel devices cause the trapped animals unimaginable suffering and a long,lingering death as they try to free themselves. Wild birds have also been known to become entrapped by them.
They are inhumane and should be prohibited by law and banned from sale with immediate effect.
