The trap must be placed so that it can only be entered by way of an artificial tunnel that is suitable for that purpose.</p><p> </p><p>A condition of use for all approved spring traps is that so far as is practicable without unreasonably compromising its use, the trap must be used in a manner that minimises the likelihood of its killing, taking or injuring non-target species.</p><p> </p><p>It is for the trapper to make sure conditions of use are complied with and offences against protected species are not committed. Where the safety of protected species cannot be reasonably assured, the use of non-lethal methods of capture, such as cage trapping, should be employed so non-target species can be released unharmed if accidentally captured.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 18/09/2017 15:44:31 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey
