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.
