As an animal rights advocate living in Seal Beach, CA, I have witnessed firsthand the cruel and painful suffering that glue traps inflict on animals. These devices are primarily used to catch mice and rats but often end up ensnaring other innocent wildlife as well. The trapped animals endure a slow and agonizing death that is simply unacceptable.

Glue traps don't discriminate; they can harm any creature small enough to step onto them. There have been instances where feral kittens were caught in these merciless devices. This is not just about pests; it's about respecting all life forms.

According to the Humane Society of the United States, glue traps cause more suffering than any other wildlife control product on today's market. They are considered inhumane due to their design which causes prolonged suffering and stress for trapped animals.

In a progressive society like ours, there must be more humane ways of dealing with unwanted pests without causing unnecessary harm or distress to any creature. We call upon our local authorities in Seal Beach, CA to ban the use of glue traps within our community.

Every animal has rights - even those we may find less appealing or label as 'pests'. It's time for us as a community to stand together against such cruelty and make a change for better treatment of all creatures big and small.

Please sign this petition if you believe that no animal deserves such cruel treatment under any circumstance.
