Ban all types of wire snares

Ban all types of wire snares — 204 signatures. Status: closed.

Petition background

We think snares are cruel, outdated traps that cause immense suffering to wildlife and pets. They can be indiscriminate, sometimes catching non-target animals, including protected species. We think the government should ban the use, sale and possession of animal snares to prevent unnecessary harm.
