A shortcast by author and campaigner Linda Newbery 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.

Linda has published numerous novels and short stories, but her latest book is non-fiction, drawing on years of animal welfare campaigning. Titled 'This Book is Cruelty Free: Animals and Us' it's a guide to compassionate living, aimed at age roughly 12+ but with plenty of interest for adults too.
