A shortcast by author and campaigner Bob Berzins about snares - part of Off the Leash's series of shortcasts supporting Animal Aid’s petition to make the use of free-running snares illegal.

Bob lives on the edge of the Peak District National park, an area blighted by wildlife crime and snares. He’s worked with activists and wildlife charities, and spoken to police officers and crime commissioners in an effort to improve the plight of wildlife in the Park. He has also trained and worked as a counsellor which has helped him bring psychological depth to his excellent first novel ‘Snared’, a few pages of which Bob reads at the end of this recording.
