Adhesive-based traps, also known as glue traps, are outdated, inhumane and should be banned in New Hampshire. These traps are small pads covered in sticky glue that are used to trap small animals like rodents. When the animal gets caught in the glue, it doesn’t die right away. Instead, their fur gets ripped off, they dehydrate, suffocate and try to get free for many days. These glue traps are inhumane! Another reason why they should be banned is because the glue used is toxic and can hurt pets, like cats and dogs. There are more humane methods to catch unwanted animals like catch-and-release or instant-kill traps. Let’s move in the right direction and not make animals suffer no matter their size!
