Snares are indiscriminate and cruel wire noose's set largely by gamekeepers on shooting estates and grouse moors to trap foxes. However rabbits, badgers, deers cats and otters all get caught and snared and suffer appauling injuries!The UK is one of only 5 European countires that still allow animal snares to be used. Almost 70% of animals caught in snares are not the intended targets. What do you feel about this? i think it is horrible and cruel and i hate to see animals suffer in this way!I would like to see snares banned in the UK and if you would too, please sign this government petition http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/animalsnares
