Snares. Snares are anchored cable or wire nooses set to catch wild animals such as squirrels and rabbits.

Spring powered, steel jaw traps (also commonly known as leg-hold traps) are banned in 88 countries. In Europe, the use of these traps is forbidden. Importing fur from countries that use these traps is even prohibited.

A wire loop is placed along a traveling path where the animal will walk through it. The snare tightens as the animal tries to free him or herself, resulting in restraint, or death by slow strangulation. Some animals struggle long enough for the snare to make it difficult to breathe, but not long enough to be killed.
