Adhesive mouse traps which use glue to slowly inflict fatal injuries are still being sold at discount shops throughout Australia, according to an animal rights group.

PETA wants state governments to outlaw the devicesPeople for the Ethical Treatment of Animals Australia told the ABC chain store Cheap as Chips had agreed to cease sales of glue-based mouse traps.PETA said it contacted the Adelaide-based business — which operates 42 shops across South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales — after a concerned customer noticed the traps on sale in SA.

The traps use strong adhesives to stick to the mice, but often capture other animals including frogs, reptiles and birds. "Stuck in a glue trap, panicked animals … endure immense and prolonged suffering as they struggle to escape, often languishing for days before dying in excruciating ways, including from exhaustion, injury, shock, dehydration, asphyxiation, or blood loss," PETA said.

Maybe they could all move to Warringah,what’s your thoughts Karli?

What about the 'prolonged suffering' the little blighters have caused humans for millennia? My cat causes more suffering when playing with a half living mouse for an hour.

I see a parallel here with XRebellionAus ExtinctionR activities ... but rodents don't have a choice

They may be cruel, if not checked every day, but they may also be the best option around small children and pets as they are not toxic and can't amputate little fingers etc.

Lol what

Where can I get it?

Yet stupid left wing, brainwashed climate change protesters glue themselves to the road.

How about let's get the police to stop shooting unarmed civilians first. Get your FN priorities straight

I can imagine that Peter Dutton has a large supply of these, and has web-cams set up by them to video every excruciating moment.

Yes! These things are horrible, not only to the rats and mice they trap but spiders, reptiles and other creatures. Ban them!

Who would even think this was in anyway acceptable

Ukraine's president says there was 'no blackmail' in Trump phone call | Sky News AustraliaUkraine President Volodymyr Zelensky is doubling down on his assertion that US President Donald Trump didn't pressure him, saying there was “no blackmail” in their phone call.\n\nThe call between the leaders has prompted a whistleblower complaint and Democratic impeachment inquiry of the Republican president.\n\nPublic opinion has shifted on the impeachment and a bare majority of voters now support removing Donald Trump from office.\n'This is not corruption, it was just a call,' Mr Zelensky said on Thursday.\n\nImage: AP So he says it. Trump says it. The transcript says it. The only person who says otherwise is an anonymous, faceless, politically biased CIA employee who colluded with Adam Schiff's staff before he made his complaint which was based on second, if not third hand, hearsay. Impeach! Read the transcripts. He's telling the truth. He's doubling skating his feet, not doubling down. What else do you expect him to do? The call tape speaks for itself, we don't need more interpretations. Trump meant exactly what he said....like many times before....do this for me...and I will do this for you...'beautiful call'
