Closed petition: Ban all types of wire snares
Closed on
We think snares are cruel, outdated traps that cause immense suffering to wildlife and pets. They can be indiscriminate, sometimes catching non-target animals, including protected species. We think the government should ban the use, sale and possession of animal snares to prevent unnecessary harm.
