Background
To protect wildlife and other animals from these inhumane traps and the prolonged suffering they cause, a ban on the sale of glue traps should be introduced. The RSPCA and numerous wildlife organisations continue to report illegal use of glue traps by businesses and members of the public, despite existing restrictions. We believe prohibiting their sale except to glue-trap license holder would help prevent unnecessary animal suffering and improve animal welfare protections.
