Be animal conscious: Don�t use glue traps!

Glue traps spell a death sentence for any animal who becomes caught in their sticky grasp. And it�s inevitably a cruel, slow death. So, please don�t use them!

One animal who had a lucky escape from a glue trap was Sniffer the plantain squirrel. Poor Sniffer became trapped on a glue board that had been set up to trap him in an office and, seeing his suffering, the office staff realised it was a mistake and called ACRES for help. It took 3 rounds of thorough cleaning and some careful shaving to remove all the deadly stuff from his fur, but Sniffer was soon right as rain and released back into the forest!

Here�s a picture of Sniffer recovering from his ordeal.
