Glue
traps are a popular way to stop mice and other animals
from visiting humans' homes. But they're also
incredibly cruel and cause slow, terrible
deaths for small animals.
That's
why the UK government chose to ban glue traps for mice
and rats last year. Now the U.S. government must
ban glue traps, too!
The flat, sticky boards are
covered in a glue so strong, it holds fast against
animals' skin and fur the moment, preventing them from
escaping.
Desperate and frightened, the
animals can't move. Instead, they're forced to
just lie there, enduring agony until they
die, usually by slowly
suffocating or starving to death.
There are so many other, more
humane ways to handle unwanted visitors - including
deterrence. There's no reason to subject sentient
creatures to this type of torment.

glue traps
