While walking his dog within the grounds, a local resident was shocked to discover his pet trapped in the snare which was set very near to the path they were walking on. He told OneKind: "All of a sudden I heard a snap sound and my dog (who was off the lead) started whining. As I turned I could see him terrified with a metal rod connected with the ground. "Luckily enough I was there and I could keep him calm until I could release him. "Looking around the place I realized it was literally a mine field with other snares hidden at ground level". He added that there was nothing to warn walkers about the snares. Type of snare Wire Where Hatfield House, Hertfordshire When August 2023
