Stop setting cruel and illegal animal traps

I AM shocked to find out that Singapore allows the public to lay illegal traps in forests to trap stray dogs and cats ('Clamp down on illegal traps' by Miss Michelle Sng, Forum Online, Tuesday).

This is such an inhumane way to trap animals and is dangerous to humans walking in the area. This is wrong and barbaric. We live in a civilised world.

Please do something about it. Please ban illegal traps.
