Ban the use of snares in England
I work in a wildlife hospital & we deal with wild animals with horrific injuries after being caught in snares. We have many photos to prove the damage done by these inhumane cheese-wires. Domestic pets have also been severely injured by snares.
A ban on their use is long overdue.

I am neither ignorant callous or cruel and i am sure that i spend more time in the country improving habitat for many different animals/birds. i do use snares and they are checked everyday (legal requirment) the countryside you enjoy is that way because we have people employed to manage it, some of that management includes culling! other things i may get involved with is laying hedges and planting trees and wild bird cover. -

I agree with all of the comments posted so far, however the one that is missing is the question as to what type of psychology allows a human fo feel that far removed from the deliberate act of inflicting that level of targeted suffering on another creature?
Lack of empathy and manipulation of environment are in fact base line diagnosis triggers for intervention by psychologists investigating psychosis and sociapath behaviour. An indicator of a collapse or absence of morality.
Certainly there is a known correlation between animal abuse cases and further abuse in people - both adult and child.
Question: are 'trappers/ snarers' and poachers a potential wider risk?
and should the law be more active in targeting one to negate the other? -

I totally agree with banning all traps or snares, how can something so cruel still be allowed, appalling

Downright cruel and unnecessary. They should be illegal.

A stain on the souls of the ignorant, callous and cruel people who set snares. Makes me ashamed to belong to the human race. Tears in my eyes.

Neil, go to the Vale wildlife rescue website and read Caroline's blog and see the results of a so called legal snare and you tell me then that this poor badger didn't suffer or wasn't tortured!! You or no one else is going to convince me otherwise. Just go ahead and say that isn't cruel or barbaric! Go on have a look!!!

outrageous...thought we were a nation of animal lovers. I'm sure the person who sets these traps would not want their dogs caught in this way

Totall barbaric! This is the 21st century and this needs banning now! Animals need protecting from humans with no ethics. Let's put those who approve of them in the snares!

Traps are horrible and should not be used at all! They are completely unfair to the animals.
