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.

The pain & suffering caused by snares is horrendous - there needs to be an outright ban now.

My friend who lives in Spain lost his beloved dog. She was found 5 days later dead in a snare! She had died a long painful death! Heartbreaking! It can happen in England too!

Snares should have been banned years ago!!! I am totally disgusted and appalled that they still exist! Horrific and cruel beyond belief! Our wildlife is disappearing all over the planet because of Human Beings. Please put a stop to this terrible form of torture NOW! Animals feel pain and have the same emotions that humans should have!

please ban use of snares. Animals caught in these go through so much pain and fear. Also animals not intended to get snared can ( for example birds, pets).

I thought they had been banned years ago, real shock to find out they are still legal. How can anyone allow this to happen, I fully support a complete ban and urge others to do the same. It could be any our beloved pets that get caught at any time. I'm sure we all have dogs that run ahead and explore the woods and such,imagine how we wouuld feel if ours got caught. PLEASE SIGN NOW!!

Animal welfare charities and others have wrestled with governments for years to get snares banned . It is about time that good sense and compassion prevailed and these things were banned.

I fully support a call to ban all snares and traps which can cause indiscriminate suffering. At present they can be used but I believe that whoever sets them is supposed to check them within 12 or 24 hours. Whichever it might be it is not good enough.

I thought that they were banned, just how barbaric are we humans, the worst animal on this earth, by far!!!

Another snaring incident at a wildlife hospital this week. Wildlife Aid in Leatherhead had to put a fox to sleep after it sustained terrible injuries from being trapped in a snare.
Please support this campaign to get them banned :) -

Snares should be outlawed immediately. They cause immense suffering to all animals caught in them, even domestic pets. There is no excuse for this wanton cruelty. BAN them TODAY.

Clwyd Badger Group has dealt with too many cases of badgers which have died slowly and horribly in snares, including in 'legal' snares which have become twisted during the animals frantic efforts to escape. It is outrageous that snaring is still legal!

As a member of a badger group I have dealt with a number of incidents where badgers have been caught in snares - the 'legal' kind. They struggle so frantically that the wire inflicts dreadful injuries. The 'cheese wire' effect cuts into them and their struggle is clear to see in the state of the ground around. One had twisted the wire round so much that its front end was held off the ground,it was dead, with its head partially severed. That had occurred overnight on a well walked public footpath. Also I came across the skeletal remains of a fox, still in the snare, which had obviously not been checked. They should be banned!!
