I hope this is ok to post (still in learner lane as to what is & isn't allowed!)
DEFRA have approved the use of the A24 trap in England (pending in Wales & Scotland), it will be used to kill rats & stoats BUT in New Zealand it is sold to kill hedgehogs which are non-native & viewed as a pest. Obviously if its used here for rats & stoats it will also kill hedgehogs which are a protected species. There is a petition to sign on the British Hedgehog Preservation Society to try & get this blocked. Please have a look & sign it if you care about wildlife.
