   Cruel traps have no place in a modern Scotland
2. Lisa 25 Jul 2017
   These traps are completely horrific! There is no justification for them being used on any animal.
3. Frances Button 25 Jul 2017
   These traps are barbaric, should not be tolerated in the 21st century. Keep wildlife safe, say no to killing.
4. Andrew Platt 25 Jul 2017
   Just listen
5. Margaret Ann Ellis 25 Jul 2017
   Why would anybody wish to inflict this cruelty on any living, sentient being. Take a moment to imagine the fear and the agony. Please stop this inhumanity.
6. Paul Allen 25 Jul 2017
   I hope they put a stop to these Traps especially if they are used for Birds of Prey.
7. Hilary 25 Jul 2017
   These traps are inhumane & we have no right to inflict such a slow, painful & unselective death on any animals
8. Graham 25 Jul 2017
   I've seen these products causing similar problems in the US, pictures of several small birds attracted to the insects and stuck to the glue traps. Please ban the unnecessary sale of these.
9. Karen Allan 25 Jul 2017
   I wasn't aware of these
   - absolutely disgusting!
10. Catherine Bentley 25 Jul 2017
    Heartless cruelty

    We must do everything we can to stop this being sold

14. Jeannette Ellwood 25 Jul 2017
    A disgusting and cruel practice no civilised country should use
15. Deirdre stewart 25 Jul 2017
    Disgusting cruel and unneccesary
16. Pauline 25 Jul 2017

17. Pauline Peckham 25 Jul 2017
    These traps are inhumane and trap creatures like birds ondiscriminately
18. Elena Rolinson 25 Jul 2017
    This is inhumane and inappropriate in the 21st century
19. Derek McCall 25 Jul 2017
    These traps are far too indiscriminate. They trap species they are not put out for. Therefore they trap creatures that cannot possibly escape from them. Creatures innocently flying into them.
20. Keith Ryan 25 Jul 2017
    Inhuman, cruel things.
21. Linda Holland 25 Jul 2017
    These things are a real hazard to birds, bats and other small wildlife let alone horrendous for the insects they catch...just because the USA use them doesn't mean we here in the UK would tolerate such a barbaric method
22. Chris Cornish 25 Jul 2017
    Evil
23. Roy williams 25 Jul 2017
    This reminds me of the cruelty that happens on the Mediterranean islands, why would anyone use these glue traps.
24. Mike Cleary 25 Jul 2017
    These glue boards must be banned.
25. Joy Snelgrove 25 Jul 2017
    No creature should suffer in any way.
26. Jan Cooper 25 Jul 2017
    Animal suffering for man's pleasure is a true abomination.
27. Carole Godfrey 25 Jul 2017
    To cause any animal such a slow, terrifying death is inhumane and should never be allowed.
28. Frances 25 Jul 2017
    These are horrendous and so cruel. They must be banned
29. john harrison 25 Jul 2017

30. Nick Pope 25 Jul 2017
    I can't believe this practice occurs in modern day Britain. It has to be banned.
31. Elena 25 Jul 2017
    This is a random and barbaric device. No place in the 21st century
32. Iris daws 25 Jul 2017

35. Carol soars 25 Jul 2017
    Disgusting things
36. Susan hunter 25 Jul 2017
    These traps are going back to the stone age. They are killing birds and animals they are not meant to target. If something has to be killed do it swiftly and humanely
