On behalf of the RSPCA I urge no one to purchase the mouse traps presently being sold in certain cut-price stores.
They consist of adhesive pads that the mouse becomes glued to.
The poor animal is left to struggle and starve and then probably dropped still alive into the dustbin.
Mice can be a problem but there are more humanitarian ways of dealing with them.
If you see them on sale please This is the only way that we can get them off the shelves.
- Frances Lindsay-Hills, chairman Sussex, Brighton and East Grinstead RSPCA
