SnareWatch

If you have any concerns about the use of snares, anywhere in the UK, you can share them with us on the SnareWatch website.

You can tell us if your pet was caught in a snare, report findings of animals trapped in snares, raise concerns about possible illegal misuse of snares or simply let us know if you’re worried about snares you have seen in a particular area.

The body of the deer was found by a hillwalker in Threestone Plantation, on the eastern side of Hedgehope Hill.

A second snare was found 20 metres further along the track, which was located next to a footpath.
