What are snares?
Inhumane.
Snares are thin lengths of wire that are used to trap wild animals perceived to be 'pests'. Although their purpose is to immobilise predators, snares have the potential to cause extreme suffering to animals and in some cases a painful, lingering death through disembowelment, decapitation
or even losing a limb.
Indiscriminate.
Snares are unselective. Any animal is at risk from a snare including protected species such as otters and badgers as well as deer, hare, livestock and even domestic cats and dogs.
In use.
Snares are used by some farmers to try to catch rabbits, and by gamekeepers on sporting estates to try to catch foxes in an attempt to protect game birds reared for shooting. A recent poll found that an overwhelming 75 per cent of people were opposed to their use and thought they should be banned. Despite such strong support for a ban on snares the Scottish Government has yet to prohibit them. But we believe a ban in Scotland can - and should - lead the way for the rest of the UK.
