Original post:

PETA has received an urgent report alleging that Alcovi Capital has glue traps set out at their offices in Saint-Laurent, Quebec. Glue traps are notoriously cruel, dangerous devices that cause immense suffering while indiscriminately inflicting terrifying deaths on any animals who get stuck in them.

Trapped animals can take days to die of starvation, dehydration, shock, asphyxiation, or blood loss while they cry out in fear and agony. Animals rip off patches of fur or feathers and skin as they struggle to escape, and some even chew off their own limbs in an attempt to free themselves. Some victims’ noses, mouths, or beaks get stuck in the glue, suffocating them over the course of hours. Animals stuck on these traps continue to produce urine and feces, spreading dangerous pathogens, leaving people at increased exposure to disease.
