Submitted by Anna Stanley – Deadline to sign up by: 30 December 2008 – Signatures: 1,138
"Glue traps" are arguably the worst method of pest control in terms of animal suffering. They are composed of pieces of wood/card/plastic with glue on one side which animals become stuck to, often struggling for up to five days before they die due to starvation or dehydration. These animals become extremely distressed, and have been known to chew off their own limbs or rip the fur from their bodies in an attempt to escape. The RSPCA are aginst the use of these devices against rodents "because of the suffering they cause". This kind of cruelty is unacceptable and the law should reflect this.
