As you may recall, we posted a blog two days ago, discussing how American Eagle Outfitters was using glue traps to kill mice in its stores.
Well, they must have heard you loud and clear, because after learning that animals caught in glue traps die a slow, agonizing death by starvation—often trying to gnaw off their own limbs in a vain attempt to free themselves—the ever-hip and animal-friendly clothing chain has joined other companies such as JP Morgan in swearing off of the cruel traps for good.
Make sure to leave a comment below to congratulate American Eagle on their compassionate decision!
