The Glue Traps (Offences) Act 2022 officially comes into effect today, making it illegal to use glue traps in England except under license 🙌
These inhumane traps are so adhesive that any animals trapped on them are unable to free themselves, causing prolonged and unnecessary suffering.
Often used for animals people deem 'pests', they also impact non-target species including wildlife and beloved pets like Basil.
The use of glue traps has been restricted in Wales since 2023, so we warmly welcome this ban which will help to make England a safer place for every kind.
