Ban rodent traps that kill or hurt mice and other rodents

Closed 150 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the government to ban mouse or rodent traps that kill or hurt mice or rodents so people use capture and release traps instead. We think that traps that kill or hurt rodents are inhumane.
We think it's disgusting that people and businesses use such cruel traps on mice and other rodents.
