Rejected petition UK wide ban on the sale and production of Glue traps

Glue traps are used as a technique to trap animals . This results in a slow , painful death with animals either suffocating or starving . They are indiscriminate in nature so despite them being placed to catch vermin , animals such as birds , cats and even dogs have been caught in them as well.

More details

We want Parliament to recognise the abhorrent nature of these glue traps and stop the selling and production of them in the UK . The RSPCA has revealed that 243 glue trap incidents were reported to its cruelty line in the last five years (2015-2019). These reports included incidents with cats, garden birds, hedgehogs, squirrels and even a parrot . With the wide variety of alternatives present on the market we believe that this is unnecessary and easily preventable .
