SPCA calls for ban of glue traps

really feel so heartbroken looking at that poor cat. 9 lives also not enough to endure such cruelty

AVA everytime say until so nice, like they care.
As if! They keep hiring people like Francis Lee, who only get a fine after strangling a dog to death due to his unorthodox traps.

At the end of the day, AVA is still the biggest animal abuser in Singapore.
They pay idiots like Francis Lee $250 per animal captured. But expected a bailout of each dog at $500 or more. And only animal welfare groups in Singapore can do so. (mostly SPCA and ASD)
Even so, over 1800 animals were captured every year, and 95% were killed.
They cited the reasons as animals being agressive.
Tell me, if you can't speak, people trap you using cruel methods, like this glue thing in the report, seeing your friends and family underwent the same methods, would you fight back or not?
Like a chinese saying, you push a dog to a corner, it will jump over a wall.

I am totally disgusted with some of the comments - some blamed the cats, some blamed the cat feeders, others said it's a waste of time on a cat. Where has humanity gone? Have we all lost our compassion in pursuit of economy progression? How can one not show any distress over the picture of the dying cat?
Didnt you guys read the report that SPCA has had since 2009 appealed to AVA to stop the glue trap? So it is obviously not just protecting the cats, but to all animals including rodents; and for the glueboard size, it is also protecting humans like toddlers or cleaners who might accidentally step on it!
Yes, there are alot of sufferings in the world and many more important issues that we need to address, but you dont have to curse the animals just to make you feel good. So stop blaming the cats. You are merely a coward if you blame all your sufferings at the weaker, defenseless opponents.

banning is not the solution. use it properly and penalize those who misuse.

Human the worst animal on earth..wiped out everything..now left alone and start killing own kind..

Why do people have so much sympathy for cats and dogs, but not rats?

If I was born a rat and I would feel offended.

The original purpose is to trap rodents which are pests. Original boards come in a standard size. This is a modified one. Bigger board is a total waste cos it will never trap more than a rodent. Other rodent kakis will avoid the hazard after one being trapped!
The pest control staff is at fault, waste the board, waste the rat glue & caused a non-rodent creature to die. Y is an over-sized glue-board used?
I worked with pest control co. b4 tt's y i know.

I hate the replies often given by AVA. Are they really for animals or are they just taking it as a job. Get busy and do the right thing...if SPCA is asking for something to be banned it must be because they know better. Why should rats die a slow death? Rat traps should work fine.i feel sad for these NGOs who are animal lovers and trying so hard to save them but they are hitting a road block every time.

Try to be more hygienic and you wont even have a rat problem... no rats = no need for traps

Bong: Let me straighten the facts for you when you said 925 million ppl do not have enough to eat. The reason for this "famine" happening is that people are consuming meat.
If more ppl in this world turn to a vegan diet, famine can be avoided. The amount of grain and vegetable protein used to feed farm animals in the US alone on an annual basis can be used to feed a population of 300 million ppl annually.
Animal farming is also contributing to green hosue gas production, which is affecting the world climate at present and polluting the world's source of water and air.

Glue traps are meant to be in hidden and usually enclosed areas where rats, cockroaches and perhaps lizards would venture. For a cat to be caught, it would have been placed in the open areas. Frankly, I 'smell' misadventure here. This should be investigated instead of calling a ban on glue traps. By the way, isnt that measurement given way to big to trap rats? How many rats do they intend to trap? If there are so many rats, AVA must do the needful. Rats. what is AVA doing?

How do you eradicate the rat problem by sticking one rat at a time.

robotic reporting. its like u have ethical code but people dun listen to you ok. if people listen to you u dun need to teach them how to stand left on escalators, not to chop tissue table, not to pretend sleeping in mrt trains. Douglas Mcgregor Theory X. please brush up your applied theories.

Gluesome traps invented by our brainless humans trapped our Modern cats cannot catch rats! Don't they know the consequences! Learn from me, click on me, direct you to my blog and search for ''Tempted, Or Not To Tempt!" teach you how to trap animals without hurting them!

funny using glue traps when cats can be bought in to do the job..

AVA should have their men try this sticky stuff first before allowing them for use. Anyway, this is good stuff to stop Remy O from ruuning over dogs again with his porky in future.

Is there any glue trap to catch all the FT's here?

so the rats are not animals? such a hypocrite this SPCA. This is the same kitty majority of the people commenting below walk by below their void decks everyday thinking its a menace. yet here they say poor kitty

How terribly sad for what has happened. What a horrid way to die. poor
kitty.

Why not use the old fashioned rodent traps instead of large glue traps which trap unneccesarily? The bigger the trap the more innocent animals killed along with the intended ones eg when fishing/trawling.
