[Singapore] - Use of cruel glue-traps kills innocent birds
painfully instead of rats (the original targets). Even for rats,
it's unnecessary animal cruelty.
Most traps have food items placed in them as bait, to
effectively ensnare and immobilise unsuspecting pests.
However, the adhesive doesn’t kill them immediately. Instead,
many animals starve and die after getting caught.
Sometimes, they even chew away their limbs in a vain attempt
to free themselves, only to have their skin, fur or feathers ripped
out from their bodies as they struggle.
The cruel and painful nature of the trap has alarmed animal
rights groups such as ACRES and People for the Ethical Treatment of
Animals (PETA ), who consider it an inhumane way of dealing with
pests.
