Animal Aid launch a new campaign which calls for a ban on snares

Posted on the 20th April 2021

A snare is a thin, wire noose. They are ‘set’ by people, with the aim that they will catch certain animals – foxes and rabbits – by the leg or the neck. The animals are then held in place before they are killed by the person who set the snare.
