Having seen what these traps can do to small animals (may it be rats, mice, birds or nontarget animals such as pets), shouldn't these traps be classified as torturous cruelty to animals? By definition it is illegal to torture any animal, so why aren't this barbaric traps banned?
I have also heard many horror stories about them on the internet. Mice ripping skin off trying to escape, rats getting their faces lodged in and suffocating, limbs being chewed to try and escape, high pitches screams of pain, all those horrible things. And I've even read stories of people throwing them - ALIVE - into the bin where they slowly die of their wounds, starvation or fear itself.
Are the use of these traps justifiable at all? People will say "it's just a mouse/rat" but nothing deserves to suffer like that. If anti-animal cruelty is so big in today's society why aren't these traps abolished? It doesn't make sense.
There are more humane alternatives that are more effective, but should they be banned?
