Lodged by Christine Grahame Standard Motion 23 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament notes the Scottish Animal Welfare Commission’s (SAWC) position paper on the trapping of terrestrial wild mammals using snares; highlights the paper’s recommendation that the sale of snares and their use by both public and industry be banned in Scotland, on animal welfare grounds; notes that according to the SAWC position paper, wild mammals and birds are sentient beings and that snares cause significant welfare harms to members of both target and non-target species, and encourages the prompt implementation of this recommendation.
