An undercover investigation revealed that shops in England continue selling cruel glue traps while providing illegal usage guidance to customers. These traps have resulted in severe suffering for animals, including pets like cats and wild hedgehogs. A notable case involved a black and white cat named Miles, who was euthanized after sustaining terrible injuries from glue traps. Although glue traps are meant for rodents, they result in suffering, with animals sometimes suffocating or sustaining severe injuries. Legislation banning unlicensed usage has been in place for a year, yet illegal practices persist.
An undercover investigation has revealed shops across England selling cruel glue traps that misinform customers on illegal usage. Pet cats, hedgehogs, and wild birds have been accidentally caught.
In 2020, a black and white cat named Miles had to be put down after becoming stuck to four glue traps, resulting in horrific injuries and extensive pain.
Glue traps are intended to catch, but not kill, rats and mice, yet animals experience horrific suffering, often suffocating or leading to severe injuries and death.
As of just over a year ago, using glue traps without a license was banned, and sellers are still providing guidance on illegal use.
