An animal rescue service based in southeastern Australia has shared an image of a venomous eastern brown snake that had become stuck in a nasty sticky pest trap along with several insects.
The devices, known as glue boards or glue traps, are essentially trays that are coated with an extremely sticky adhesive. They are often used to remove rodents, insects, and other animals that are considered to be pests from homes.
But while some people buy these traps as an alternative to snap traps, which can pose a risk to children and pets, animal rights groups have condemned the devices, with The Humane Society of the United States describing them as cruel and indiscriminate.
