Urge Schools to Ban Using Glue Traps

Tulsa Public Schools and Virginia Beach City Public Schools are still using glue traps to trap rodents in their schools. 

These traps can take over 24 hours to kill a rodent. During that time they can rip themselves to shreds from terror, suffer from dehydration, blood loss and choke to death. Not only are the traps cruel to these creatures but they can also pose a risk to the students and staff in the school.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention actually warn against the use of glue traps because of the risks posed by the many pathogens in the body waste of trapped rodents. 

Please urge the school governors to do the right thing today by rodents and their schools by finding a alternative to glue traps. You can sign this petition and you can also write to/fax/email the schools here:

We the undersigned are writing to you all today to ask you to please remove glue traps from your premises. These traps can take over 24 hours to kill a rodent. During that time rodents can rip themselves to shreds from terror, suffer from dehydration, blood loss and choke to death. Not only are the traps cruel to rodents but they can also pose a risk to your students and staff. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention actually warns against using them because of the pathogens in the bodily waste of the trapped rodents.
