Glue traps are cruel and inhumane

WildCare’s wildlife hospital cares for more than 4,000 ill, injured and orphaned wild animals every year. Of these, a dozen or more are brought to the San Rafael clinic stuck to glue traps.

Although they may be inexpensive, and their cheerful packaging proclaims these traps to be “safe,” “clean” and “nontoxic,” nothing could be farther from the truth. Glue traps are actually one of the most cruel and inhumane pest control products on the market. They should never be used under any circumstance for any reason.
