Cape SPCA renews call to ban glue trapsWhat began as an ordinary day for two Cape Sparrows ended in tragedy after the birds became trapped on a glue board intended to catch rodents, prompting the Cape of Good Hope SPCA to renew its campaign for a complete ban on the devices. While many people purchase glue traps specifically to catch rodents, the SPCA says the devices do not discriminate. ALSO READ:The Cape of Good Hope SPCA says it has spent years advocating for the sale and use of glue traps, glue boards and similar adhesive devices to be prohibited. Following the deaths of the two Cape Sparrows, the SPCA is urging residents not to purchase or use glue traps. For the Cape of Good Hope SPCA, the message is simple: no animal deserves to die trapped on a sheet of glue.
