Ban the sale and use of glue traps

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

To ensure no more glue traps are used within the UK.
Animals stuck to glue traps will rip off their own skin and fur trying to escape. They will even chew off their own limbs in a desperate attempt to get away. They inflict terrible injuries on themselves, even fracturing limbs, trying to get free. Trapped animals suffer for days as they slowly suffocate and starve.
