GLUE TRAPS MAKE ALL KINDS OF ANIMALS SUFFER�INCLUDING SNAKES

In the course of our wildlife rescue work, we sadly come across many animals stuck on glue traps. Usually they are small animals, including birds, squirrels, lizards and small snakes.

A more unusual case was a recent one involving �Slick�, a 1.3-metre-long python, who needed to be rescued from a glue trap.

Pictured here is In�s Petard, our animal care intern, attending to Slick by using oil to slowly remove the glue from his body. We had to repeat this a few times before Slick was able to once again move with ease. Eventually, Slick will shed his skin and be able to slither around normally again.

Glue traps are a cruel, indiscriminate and unethical method of catching animals. If you know anyone who uses glue traps, please raise awareness on the suffering they cause to their victims.
