Stop the use of glue traps to catch animals as it kills them

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

Consider the use of glue traps on animals as it is killing all wildlife it is in humane and wrong. The glue will rip off any skin or fur causing an endless amount of pain to the animal trapped. Not to mention the fact that they slowly starve. There’s more humane ways to catch rodents.
Despite it being used for rats, other animals like robins and cats get stuck and they lose their life, even though the intent was for a rat. It should be banned for catching all wildlife
