禁止台灣販售及架設捕獸夾聯署活動
Petition to Ban the Sale and Use of Gin Traps in Taiwan
在台灣，法律上雖然禁止〝使用〞齒夾式捕獸器，但是〝販售〞捕獸夾的行為卻是合法的。台灣法律必須清楚規定：『不論在任何的情況下，應禁止捕獸夾的販售與使用行為，包含任何網製以及其它金屬構造的捕捉器。』捕獸夾危險又尖銳的鋸齒會緊咬住動物的四肢，使其無法動彈，動物們會為了掙脫，承受極度的皮肉之苦。有些幸運的動物雖然可以掙脫，但是同時也有可能失去了牠們的四肢。不幸的動物則會因為無法逃脫，處於惡劣的環境下，承受劇痛慢慢死去。因為無法逃脫，導致無法移動雙腳去取得食物/水源。 可以行動的動物則拖著捕捉器﹐承受大量的疼痛。 很多的動物則是死於失血過多及感染病菌。
It’s illegal to use ‘gin traps’ in Taiwan, however selling them is not. The law needs to clearly ban the selling and use of all forms of gin traps/metal traps to capture animals for any reason. These sharp, dangerous traps immobilize animals by clamping down on their limb(s). The animals suffer an agonizing ordeal as they try to free themselves. The lucky ones may be rescued but may lose their limb(s). The less fortunate ones could die a slow and painful death as they may not be able to move to shear themselves from the harsh environment or move to eat/drink water. Some drag the traps around with them; no-one there to help them take it off. Many are exposed to infections. Some will bleed to death.
