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.

A dog was found wandering within feet of snares which had been set in an area popular with dog walkers in Scotterthorpe.

A local resident, who regularly walks her dog in the area, said they were on a walk when her pet wandered off and was found 2 feet away from the snares.

She explained that there are pheasant pens in the area, which is part of a shooting estate, where there is a variety of wildlife at risk of being snared.

The area is very popular with dog walkers who often let their animals run off-lead.
