Live Catch Squirrel Traps

Cage traps are not necessarily ‘humane’ just because they are live catch.  Even more than ‘kill traps’, the user has a duty of care to the captured animal which by design will be trapped, alive and at risk of distress for a longer period.

Any user of a live catch trap must also be practically and psychologically prepared to dispatch the caught animal  – particularly if it is an invasive species such as Mink or Grey Squirrel and cannot be released back into the wild.
