Snaring Campaign

The League Against Cruel Sports believes that snaring is terribly cruel, indiscriminate, and wholly unnecessary and are calling for an end to the manufacture, sale and use of all snares in the UK.

Snares are thin wire nooses that are set to trap any animal perceived to be a pest or threat. The primitive design of a snare silently garrotts its victims and often leads to a painful and lingering death. Commonly used by gamekeepers to catch foxes, rabbits and stoats, many protected mammals such as badgers and otters plus livestock and even domestic pets are either caught, seriously injured and killed in snares.

Snaring is banned in most countries across Europe but is still legal in the UK.
