Prohibition of Trapping Animals Using Prohibited Traps Bill

What does the bill do?

The bill defines "prohibited traps" (glue and leg-hold) and prohibits any person from using them to trap animals. This bill sets exceptions for certain parties such as employees of the Nature Authority, public health inspectors, veterinarians and licensed exterminators, under conditions set in the law. The bill also prohibits the sale, marketing, import and manufacture of such traps except by those with an explicit license. The penalty for violating the prohibition is three years in prison or a fine, and for commercial violations one year in prison or a smaller fine.
