Arunachal Pradesh Bans Use of Glue Traps

The Arunachal Pradesh government has banned the use of glue traps for catching rodents. The ban was imposed following an appeal from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India.

Glue traps are a cruel and inhumane way to kill rodents. They trap the animals in a sticky substance, often causing them to suffer for days before they die. They can also catch non-target animals, such as birds and reptiles.

The ban on glue traps is in line with the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (PCA) Act, 1960. The PCA Act prohibits the infliction of unnecessary pain or suffering on animals.

PETA India is pleased with the ban on glue traps in Arunachal Pradesh. “This is a great victory for animals,” said PETA India’s advocacy officer Farhat Ul Ain. “Glue traps are a cruel and ineffective way to control rodents, and we are grateful to the Arunachal Pradesh government for taking this step to protect animals.”

The ban on glue traps in Arunachal Pradesh is a progressive step that sets an example for other states. It is hoped that other states will follow suit and ban the use of these cruel devices.

In addition to the ban on glue traps, the Arunachal Pradesh government has also taken other steps to protect animals. The government has established a wildlife sanctuary and a number of animal rescue centers. The government is also working to raise awareness about animal welfare.

The ban on glue traps is a positive step for animal welfare in Arunachal Pradesh. It is a sign that the government is committed to protecting animals and ensuring their well-being.
