Warning: graphic footage

Fenn traps are used all over the UK. We found this poor squirrel on Monday 7th February ’22 whilst sabbing the Ledbury hunt on a shooting estate near Woolhope, Herefordshire.

With Herefordshire Hunt Sabs he was taken to the nearest vet and euthanised while a 3C foot sab remained with the hunt to keep tabs on them. The squirrel’s foreleg was caught in the trap and as he tried to escape the injury worsened. There was blood all over the cover.

So many suffer this unimaginable fear and pain just so that some can kill factory farmed pheasants for fun. Stoats, weasels, rats, hedgehogs, any individual who springs the trap is at a risk of painful, stressful injury and death, even when the traps are “set properly / lawfully”
