Ban the Use of Larsen Traps in the UK


Ban the Use of Larsen Traps in the UK
The Issue
Larsen traps, though banned in their country of origin due to perceived inhumanity, remain legal in the UK. They employ live wild decoy birds to lure crows, magpies, jays, jackdaws, and rooks, subjecting them to distressing conditions. These intelligent birds witness the brutal killing of their kindred, suffer predation while confined, and often meet neglectful ends. It is time we put an end to this cruel practice and protect our wildlife from unnecessary suffering. Please sign this petition to urge lawmakers to ban the use of Larsen traps in the UK!
