The Scottish SPCA (SSPCA) are renewing calls for a glue trap ban after a magpie and sparrow were discovered in one of the traps at an address in North Lanarkshire this week.
An SSPCA animal rescue officer made the shocking discovery of the glue trap - a tray coated with a sticky adhesive typically used to trap rodents and animals classed as vermin - at a property on Pentland Road in Wishaw on Tuesday.
Sadly, the difficult decision was made to put both birds to sleep so as not to prolong their pain and suffering.
