To Ban Larsen Traps & Multi Corvid Traps

This petition has been set up by ACT - Against Corvid Traps, this organistation are fighting to bring and end of the use of Larsen traps and multiple Corvid traps.

Background to larsen traps:

Although banned in their country of origin because they are viewed as inhumane, Larsen traps are still legal in the UK. It uses a live wild decoy bird to attract and trap crows, magpies, jays, jackdaws and rooks. The decoy bird suffers a most terrible existance. Close to the ground it is terrorised by predators, these intelligent birds see its fellow birds brutally killed in front of it. A number end up being found dead through neglect. Mostly used by gamekeepers.

Background to Multi Corvid Traps:

Multi traps, often called crow traps. These also come in the shape of Ladder traps and Cone or lobster pot traps. These traps are almost always used by gamekeepers to catch and kill crows but will often catch Raptors (birds of prey). Gamekeepers have historically been hostile to Raptors, and inevitably many of the trapped birds are killed. An example being in 2005 when two gamekeepers were convicted of killing a buzzard they found in their crow multi-trap.
