Petition summary
We're calling on the Scottish Parliament to conduct a full review of the animal welfare impacts of the use of traps and snares on grouse moors and elsewhere in Scotland, focusing on:
- The ethics and sustainability of the routine and repeated killing of the same species in the same location;
- The case for banning snares, Larsen traps and certain other types of live traps outright, on animal welfare grounds;
- The animal welfare issues surrounding lethal traps such as spring traps, both approved and non-approved categories;
- Mechanisms to ensure proper scrutiny of all practices undertaken by hunters, shooters and trappers and only to permit the use of traps under exceptional circumstances; and
- Whether activities closely associated with causing unnecessary suffering by means of trapping and snaring, such as driven grouse shooting, should be banned.
