Many organisations, including Animal Aid and all our supporters, have campaigned for many years to ensure that this historic ban succeeded. The shooting lobby fought hard to try and derail the process, but thanks to the clear-headed, compassionate Minister – along with many other members of the Senedd – the government of Wales has taken a significant stand against animal cruelty.
The government of Scotland now has the issue of snares under review, and we hope that they will follow the compassionate lead of the Welsh Government.
Ahead of the forthcoming General Election, Animal Aid is asking all political parties, MPs and parliamentary candidates to pledge to ban snares.
Please help our campaign by taking a couple of minutes to write to your MP. Thank you.
