The Countryside Alliance develops a new snare - the 'Rose Cuff'

It's not hard to imagine why the Countryside Alliance would rather stay quiet than let us know what their policy on snaring is.

After all they know that the majority of us want this barbaric trapping method banned, and with the September March coming up they need all the public sympathy they can muster.  

To quote Len Schwaiger (CA): "Frankly I do not know where to address your question about snares. I will perservere."  

However, The National Anti Snaring Campaign have received documents that reveal in private meetings with the British Association for Shooting and Conservation the C.A. have been involved in developing a new type of snare called the "Rose Cuff"! - Remember when they re-branded "Cub hunting" as "Autumn hunting"?  

NASC has discovered that the "Rose Cuff" has already been tested on "captive foxes".

At a meeting of their Snares Liaison Group on 23rd. April 2002 it was suggested that: "For media purposes the excessive popularity of badgers needs to be reversed and the problematic image of the fox maintained!"  

So now we know it all!
