England is now the only country in Britain to allow the use of cruel snares. In 2023, the Welsh Government introduced a total ban on snares. The Scottish Government also banned snares under the Wildlife Management and Muirburn (Scotland) Bill.
Our government petition, calling for a ban on the use of snares was signed by more than 100,000 people! As a result, MPs held a debate on snares in January 2023 – with the huge majority of MPs, from different political parties, speaking in support of a ban on these inhumane traps.
The government has said it will keep its promise to implement a ban on snares in England – but we need to keep the pressure up and make sure this happens as soon as possible.
Please use the form below, to send a pre-drafted message to your MP, asking them to show their support by signing a new Early Day Motion (EDM705). You can edit the text in the message if you wish. Thank you.
