SAN DIEGO — Following several attempted rescues of wild animals caught in glue traps earlier this year, the San Diego Humane Society’s Project Wildlife team is urging the public to refrain from using the traps because of the devastating consequences they have for wildlife and sometimes pets. The medical team at the Pilar & Chuck Bahde Wildlife Center works on wild animals who are found stuck in glue traps. According to a statement from center staff, without rescue, these animals experience prolonged suffering and death, often from starvation. “Glue traps are incredibly inhumane, since the traps themselves don’t kill the animal,” said Dr. Jon Enyart, director of wildlife medicine for the humane society. “The animal gets stuck and is left unable to move until they starve to death. It is devastating.”
