😡🐁🚫👎 Say it with me! I HATE GLUE TRAPS! THEY ARE INHUMANE! I HATE GLUE TRAPS! STOP USING THEM! I HATE GLUE TRAPS! SPREAD AWARENESS! I HATE GLUE TRAPS! SIGN THIS PETITION! @calamarii__ brought this petition to the Newport Zine Discord and I can’t thank them enough. As they so eloquently put it: “this is something ive recently become very passionate about. glue traps are an absolutely disgusting and cruel form of "pest" control and it genuinely makes me sick that not only do they exist, but theyre available so cheaply and easily. rodents like mice, and especially rats are my favorite animals. theyre intellegent, social, affectionate, creatures and it absolutely disgusts me that some people seem to see them as these sort of "half animals" and pests to be disposed of. they put them through so much suffering and fear in their final moments, letting them starve and fight and fade out after days of excruciating pain and fear. no more cheese. no more crumbs. no more scurrying around. no chance at a mate or a litter. no more of those things if they ever had them. im honestly hoping that mouse/rat traps will be banned altogether some day but glue traps are genuinely just evil and should be made full illegal” #bangluetraps #gluetrapssuck #gluetrapsareevil #gluetrapssuck https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck4TKUosp5r/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sorry for the all caps, and the * graphic images * but please, please DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT! Just like traditional floor glue traps (that are equally horrendous for animals), the Trapstik is an extremely sticky surface that the company suggests hanging outdoors where wasps or flies are a problem. Many people have hung up the Trapstik in their yards, only to find birds, bats and other wildlife stuck to it. This is excruciatingly painful for the animal, and an almost certain death as it is very difficult to remove the animal without permanent damage. The Trapstick is currently being sold at hardware and department stores, as well as on-line. Please, do not purchase this product (or any glue based traps) and let your local retailer know how unsafe the Trapstik is for wildlife.
