Ban Glue Traps in Canada


Ban Glue Traps in Canada
The Issue
Glue Traps, also known as “glue boards” or “glue trays,” sticky glue traps are made of pieces of plastic, cardboard, or fiberboard coated with a strong adhesive designed to trap any animal who wanders across or lands on their surface. Glue traps are among the most inhumane devices on the market today.
your pet may come in contact with these boards and though they may be able to pull themselves off the board, they may lose fur or skin in the process. A smaller animal has no means to escape.
it may take three to five days for an animal to die, perhaps even longer depending on the size. Some animals succumb to exhaustion, collapse face down in the glue, and die of suffocation when the glue lodges in their nasal passages—a pro- cess that can take anywhere from 3 to 24 hours. most often death comes from a combination of exhaustion, dehydration, and starvation.
