PRESSURE piled on the government to stick to its promise to outlaw animal snare traps in England, as a new survey released today showed strong public backing for the ban.
The noose-like traps, which catch animals around the neck, are banned in Scotland and Wales but remain legal in England.
Campaigners from the League Against Cruel Sports are urging Labour to follow through on its pledge to ban them, promised in last year’s general election manifesto.
