Online auction website removes glue traps
17 May 2012
A big thank you to online auction website, eBid, for responding to an ICABS appeal and removing glue traps from sale.
The traps were taken off the ie.ebid.net site after we pointed out the suffering caused to caught creatures and the widespread condemnation the traps have received from veterinary professionals and animal welfare groups.
Glue traps are illegal in Ireland but remain legal in other countries.
We now turn our attention back to Amazon which continues to sell the traps. Please see our action alerts below.

Dear Amazon,
I am writing to urge you to please show compassion and stop the sale of glue traps from your websites. Glue traps are incredibly cruel and cause much suffering to trapped creatures.
