Scum Remover

Traps and snares are all too common within hunt country. You'll no doubt have come across loads of them while sabbing, and likely when spending non-sab time in the countryside as well. I was interested to learn more bout them from someone that specialises in the intentions and effects of these devices, so I contacted Simon from the National Anti-Snaring Campaign to hear what he had to say.

- The National Anti-Snaring Campaign website has photos of many trap and snare designs.

- Against Corvid Traps website.

- Moorland Monitors has good videos on different types of traps on its Facebook page.

On the Wild Side includes a section on hunt sabs in the UK, and we spend some time talking about this part of the film.
