DEAR FOLLOWERS, PLEASE STOP FOR A MOMENT AND READ THIS!!!

This poor community cat was caught on a glue-board trap placed by a pest control company overnight at a HDB bin centre. The cat in this photo was dying by the time it was brought to the SPCA. She was in deep distress and panting heavily. Our duty veterinarian made the decision to humanely euthanase the cat to prevent further suffering.

The board trap was about 4 feet by 5 feet in size and the amount of glue on the board was excessive. The cat never stood a chance.

SPCA has previously appealed to Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore to institute a ban of glue-board traps because of the suffering caused to animals that are trapped on them, not only rats, but other species. The case, which was reported to SPCA on Friday 17 February, only reinforces the extreme suffering that an animal goes through when glue-board traps are used. We have contacted the Town Council and the pest control company involved, to inform them that we will take this matter further We have also written to AVA to request that they ban the use of such traps with immediate effect and that action be taken against the parties responsible in this case. 

THIS INNOCENT CAT WAS PUT TO SLEEP, AS A RESULT OF SUCH RIDICULOUS TRAPS.

This happened in Singapore, BUT IT DOESN’T MATTER WHERE YOU ARE FROM. SUCH TRAPS ARE INHUMANE AND TORTURE ANIMALS TO DEATH. IF YOU ARE AGAINST ANIMAL CRUELTY OF ANY KIND, PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO SIGN THIS PETITION TO stop the use of inhumane traps to capture animals HERE.

Please help me spread the word, thank you! <3
