Tell us what you found

Who found the trap(s) or snare(s)? (required)

If possible, please provide the exact date and time of the activity.

If you do not know the date of the finding, or if it is ongoing, please provide any details you can e.g. ’during the last month’ or ’every weekend’.

Where did the incident/observation of trapping/snaring happen? Please describe the exact location using information such as landmarks, road numbers, distances and directions. Imagine someone trying to find the place if they have never been to the area before. Please give the postcode and/or grid reference if you know them.

Location (required)

Description of the scene. Please include as much relevant information as you can, and include whether there was an animal in the trap/snare and if they were alive or dead. (required)

If you suspect this was an illegally set trap or snare, (snares are banned in Scotland and Wales and users must follow a code of practice in England and Northern Ireland) did you report the incident to the police? If you need to please contact the police on ’101’ where you can report crimes that have already taken place. If you have already done this, please provide any details of the officer you spoke with or any reference number you may have been provided with.
