Rejected petition STOP the sale of the Gov Approved Rat Traps - which DO KILL HEDGEHOGS!

The Government has approved a trap for killing rats which was originally used in New Zealand for killing hedgehogs. Half of the UK’s hedgehog population has disappeared since 2000. Endangered hedgehogs are now waking up from hibernation. It is illegal to kill hedgehogs so this trap risk must STOP!

This trap delivers a powerful blow which will kill a hedgehog instantly.
