Mouse on Glue Trap

Text GLUE to 73822 to Urge Mercer County Civil Courthouse to Ditch Glue Traps

During discussions between PETA and The Home Depot regarding the company's sale of glue traps—products that cause immense suffering to small mammals and birds, who tear off parts of their faces and limbs trying to escape over hours or days—a Home Depot employee found a mouse suffering in a glue trap inside one of its own stores. After witnessing firsthand how animals suffer as they struggle in the traps' adhesive, The Home Depot decided to prohibit the use of glue traps in its more than 2,200 stores nationwide.
