The RSPCA has hit out over the use in gardens of 'cruel and terrible' glue traps after the rescue of a stuck hedgehog. Glue traps, also known as glue boards or sticky traps, are made from sheets of cardboard, plastic or wood coated with non-drying adhesive, said the charity.
RSPCA bosses said the traps are currently legal and generally used to catch rodents, whose limbs get stuck to the glue as they move across the boards, but a Bill against their use was progressing through Parliament.
The hedgehog was found stuck on a trap by a concerned member of the public in Farnworth, Bolton, at about 8pm on Sunday, March 27.
It was rushed to an animal hospital and thankfully freed by trimming around some fur. The RSPCA, however, revealed a robin found stuck to a trap by its chest, legs and wings in an earlier incident in Levenshulme wasn't as lucky.
