Larsen traps are banned in their country of origin because they are viewed as inhumane, they are still legal in the UK. They use a live wild decoy bird to attract/trap others. Close to the ground it is terrorised by predators and these intelligent birds see its fellow birds brutally killed in front of it. A number end up being found dead through neglect. These traps should be banned in the United Kingdom and anyone found using them to be prosecuted.
