  THIS HAS TO BE STOPPED NOW...

  Snares are humane! they are checked at least once every 24hrs there is a stop on the wire to stop strangulation, animals that are not targeted can be released unharmed. if domestic pets are under control and on public land then they should not come into contact with snares of any kind.

  Totally agree with the comments. These snares should be banned. Good Luck with the petition Caroline.

  i could not bear to look at the graphic details, but know of the terrible injuries these snares cause

  I honestly do not think that you can ban them. Its just not viable because they're so easy to make from many simple materials. Not just cheese wire. I agree that they are horrible & painful for the creatures involved and completely unnecessary in modern times but trying to enforce a ban like that will ultimately just be wasting the judicial systems time.

  I thought they already were illegal? though I know people still use them, definitely needs enforcing.

  It was different I suppose when it was done for food, now it is sport and unnescessary and cruel

  Good idea...

  Unnecessary and barbaric form of torture for any animal domestic or wild caught in a snare. Should be banned back to the middle ages where it belongs and all setters of snares should receive a minimum of £1000 fine per snare set.

  Good luck with this long overdue campaign.

  I'd vote for this but can't as all my votes used up, if this is happening to me, is it happening to others who can't vote who want to on campaigns. I've lost my voice by supporting a couple of other campaigns using more than one vote because foolishly I didn't notice I was only allowed ten but could use more than one on a campaign. Just a thought. May be just may be Pats Petition was the same?

  Agreed they are very inhumane.

  long overdue.

  How can any snare be humane?

  We are regular supporters of the wonderful work done by Caroline and her team, but we are appalled to learn that snares are still being used and will do our best to rally support for the campaign to have them banned.

  Yes I agree entirely .This wicked practice should have been banned a along time ago. Do you intend to organise a petition? Well done and all the very best in your quest. i will give you every support I can.
