Gyms Shed Glue Traps Like Extra Pounds
Raise
your barbells to Millennium
Partners Sports Club Management, LLC, which is banning glue
traps from all its locations nationwide.
After
talks with PETA, Millennium learned how glue traps cause their victims a
slow, agonizing death. Because the animals get stuck but aren’t killed, they
struggle to free themselves, often ripping off fur, skin, or feathers in the
process. They may also chew off their own limbs to try to escape. Animals may
languish for days before finally succumbing to starvation, dehydration,
exhaustion, or injuries. And glue traps don’t discriminate—birds, companion animals, and even small children
can be harmed by them.
Presented
with that information, Millennium agreed that glue traps had about as much
business being in their gyms as a triple cheeseburger—and neither one will be
making it through the door.
Make
sure that neither gets through your door, either, with a humane “smart” mousetrap
(and a veggie burger, of course).
