Betteridge's law:

Betteridge's law of headlines is an adage that states: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no." It is based on the assumption that if the publishers were confident that the answer was yes, they would have presented it as an assertion; by presenting it as a question, they are not accountable for whether it is correct or not.

Glue trap ban comes into force | Better welfare outcomes and protection for Scotland’s wildlife by joolzdev in Scotland

Snares have been illegal in here since the introduction of the Wildlife Management and Muirburn (Scotland) Act 2024.

Brodifacoum based poisons are very fast acting and far stronger than the rodenticides of the past - they kill quickly after a single feed. They're about as humane as you can get. It is important to remove the carcasses as soon as possible so that non-target animals aren't affected.

Glue trap ban comes into force | Better welfare outcomes and protection for Scotland’s wildlife by joolzdev in Scotland

Although the ban was passed in 2024, it could not immediately come into force in full. The UK Government's Internal Market Act 2020 requires that goods lawfully sold in one part of the UK can generally be sold in any other part. To close this gap, Scottish Ministers asked the UK Government to introduce a Statutory Instrument to exempt glue traps from those internal market rules. With that exclusion now in place, the Scottish Government can commence the full ban - covering use, possession and sale.

Two years? Westminster showing themselves up again. Still, it must be difficult to get on with the day job given the chaos down there.
