Glue Traps (Offences) Act 2022
Summary
This Act makes it illegal to use glue traps to catch animals in the UK. Glue traps are sticky pads that trap mice, rats, and other small animals; the law was created because these traps cause animals to suffer slowly. People who break this law can face fines or other penalties.
A vote to support means
- —Supporting this Act means you believe glue traps should be banned because they cause unnecessary suffering to animals. Supporters argue the traps are cruel, as animals can struggle for hours before dying, and other methods of pest control are more humane and effective.
A vote to oppose means
- —People opposing this Act might worry it limits their ability to deal with pest problems on their property, especially in rural areas where other pest control methods may be expensive or difficult to access. Some may argue the law is too strict and doesn't account for genuine situations where pest control is necessary.
