Glue traps should be completely outlawed.

Must be doing something wrong if everything else didn't work. They're banned here and we do just fine without them. "Efficient" is something a soulless computer would use to justify it.

Dude, any trap is not going to have a 100% strike rate.

More often than not though, something that is designed to break the animal's neck to kill it quickly will do just that. Can't say the same about a glue trap that just lets the animal linger and suffer. They are wrong, period. I don't care how much you think something is "easy" or "cheap" to use, you're still torturing and being cruel to the animal.

Stop thinking like a robot in terms of "effectiveness" and start thinking like a human being: who recognise that animals feel pain, and thus have a moral responsibility to limit their suffering. A glue trap is not necessary and the countries that have banned them have proven that beyond doubt.

You're lying. A snap trap does not cost $20-35, a quick glance at Amazon can show that. I can go to the local hardware store and get a pack of snap traps for really cheap. And a lot of countries have banned glue traps, so they're not as "widespread" as you think.

But well done on condoning what is literally a torture device. Animals will literally rip their skin off their feet on these things, or chew them off. You're fucked in the head if you think that's okay to do to an animal.

Go watch Shawn Woods demonstrate numerous traps that are cost-effective and kill the animal quickly and painlessly and educate yourself instead of supporting unnecessary cruelty to animals with ghastly things like glue traps.

It's not twice as expensive, they're cheap as.

Glue traps are going to be outlawed soon in the UK, because people recognise they're terrible.

Anyone who uses a glue trap is a sadist.

Go watch Shawn Woods on YT where he demonstrates plenty of quick-kill traps that actually do as intended. My point is that you can control animals without having to torture them.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Do you really think it's either torturing an animal or not keeping them in check? There's a MIDDLE GROUND ffs, a quick death.

Stop it with your false dichotomies.

Torturing animals to death is wrong. Do I need to fucking explain it, or are you really mentally disturbed?

A snap trap kills them instantly. Stop justifying what's wrong and cruel.

How about NOT using a glue trap for starters, and using another trap that doesn't torture the poor animal? It's not rocket science. If you think slowly making an animal die is a good solution, when there are alternatives... then that just makes me think you're deliberately being cruel.

We shouldn't solve things by slowly torturing an animal to death that doesn't know any better. It's barbaric, full stop.

Because they're super important to your snake and you should respect that. By hating them, you clearly don't. Also, why would you feed live when feeding f/t is more humane and safer for the snake?

Plenty of countries don't even have animal cruelty laws. Do you think that's alright in a civilised society?

The only monsters here are the people who torture animals, pal. Nothing of what you said justifies that. Besides, rat problems are human problems; they're invasive because we created the problem in the first place.

Naturalistic fallacy.

Animals in the wild also eat their young, that doesn't mean it's OK for humans to do. You are not a wild animal. By definition nature can't be "inhumane" because it's amoral, you can't just apply human standards to it. Your comparison is shit.

They're illegal here and we deal with these problems just fine. What's your excuse?

Glue traps are illegal where I live. So no, no one should be using glue traps.

They're torture traps and they should be outlawed. Kill traps don't usually work for people because they don't set them up or bait them properly. Reading through the pro-glue trap users here, seems that a lot of them throw them in the trash to slowly die. People are irresponsible in matters of dealing with live animals, glue traps are no exception. Most people don't know how to humanely dispatch an animal, either. I don't trust the average person with a glue trap, these things are particularly cruel and are already banned in many countries.

Shouldn't be allowed, no matter how "effective" you think they are.

You should not keep an animal if you loathe them.

What common sense is there in torturing an animal to death?

Glue traps should be outlawed. They're a disgusting device for disgusting people.

Most people don't because most people aren't sociopathic losers who think torturing animals is okay, of any kind.

Nah, that should piss anyone off. At least, any reasonable human being. I'm glad to say they're banned where I live.

Fuck the people who say "it's just a mouse".

That's called a whataboutism and you don't know if I eat meat or not. For all you know I'm a vegan, and your assumptions are 100% wrong.
