What the petition asks
Rodent glue traps are mats covered in a very sticky adhesive from which it's victims cannot escape. It can take hours, even days from being caught to being killed, in which time they will usually die from exhaustion in the attempt to escape.
Let's get these disgusting things banned. Thank you.
