LETTER: Ban the snares

The intended victims are foxes which the estate owners want to eliminate in order to protect pheasants, grouse, partridges, and other game birds, which they are breeding for the sole purpose of becoming targets for fee paying shooting parties.
Every 20 seconds somewhere an animal is caught in a snare, but only a quarter of them are the intended quarry (foxes). The UK is one of only five European countries to still allow snaring. We urge the government to ban it.
