Ban Glue Traps in the U.S.A.

Dear Motomco (Tomcat brand products)& J.T. Eaton (Stick-Em Brand,

In the United States, there are no regulations for the use of glue traps. There also is very little consumer education about these products, and manufacturers and retailers provide virtually no information to alert purchasers as to the concerns that exist with the use of these devices. The UK and Australia, not only strictly regulate the use of these, but in some places they've been banned completely. There are OTHER WAYS to get rid of household pests. Humane ways. These glue traps are torture devices-
"Imagine stumbling into a sticky substance so strong that you couldn't break away from it. Frantic, you struggle to pry yourself free, but all that happens is that you tear patches of your skin and hair off or get your mouth and nose stuck in it and start to suffocate.

That is exactly what mice, rats, birds, squirrels, hamsters, kittens, and other small animals stuck on glue traps endure. Some even try to chew off a paw in order to escape otherwise certain death. Some, helplessly trapped, die of dehydration. Motomco, which makes some of these little torture devices, is telling shoppers that one of its products is humane." (PETA, The PETA Files)

To the manufacturers- Please stop making glue traps. They are cruel. To the readers of this petition- please help BAN glue traps in the UNITED STATES!! Please.
