Contact New York State Reps re Anti-Glue Trap Bill - 29 March 2024

From: Animal Defenders of Westchester (ADOW)
March 29, 2024 

NYS Senator Jabari Brisport has introduced a wonderful bill to ban the production, sale and use of horribly cruel glue traps in NYS. Several companies incl CVS and Target have already banned their sale. A recent article in amNY provides ample reasons this bill should be enacted into law.

Animals, including birds, squirrels and even companion animals who get stuck to them suffer for days before they finally die of starvation, dehydration, self-mutilation, and shock. Skin, fur, or feathers are torn from their bodies as they frantically struggle to escape the adhesive. Many animals resort to chewing off their own limbs in a desperate attempt to free themselves from the traps, and others get their noses, mouths, or beaks stuck in the glue and suffocate.

ANIMALS ARE SENTIENT AND INTELLIGENT; IN 2024 ITS TIME WE FUNCTIONED BY USING OUR INTELLIGENCE AND HUMANE COMPASSION. PLEASE CONTACT THE MEMBERS OF THE CONSUMER PROTECTION COMMITTEE THE BILL IS CURRENTLY IN, AND ASK THEM TO SUPPORT S6314/A4785 AND VOTE IT OUT OF COMMITTEE. ALL CAN BE CC'D.

THANK YOU!
