Duly signed. Mice, voles, shrews and bats should be able to look forward to the day when they can go about their business without getting caught in this infernal inhumane method of destruction.

Thanks faye782 for that.

Are these the same sort of traps that are used abroad to trap birds? Disgusting invention.
Going to sign now.

Same principle. Birds are caught by smearing twigs and small branches with bird lime -a potent sticky substance -that traps them as they come to investigate a tethered or caged call bird. That's if they've managed to get past the barrage of shotguns.

Thanks for the info. Whatever the creature, even down to fly paper-it's all horrible stuff and should be banned.

That's disgusting iv'e watched another video about it and squirrels and kittens also get trapped in it and die.
The protester's also have a good slogan for the company who sells glue traps; "torture for sale".
