Found at Tampines wet market

In her Facebook post, Chai said that that the kitten was found at a wet market in Tampines Street 81.

The kitten was stuck for seven hours before it was rescued.

The glue trap was apparently meant to catch wandering rats at the market.

"The rats infestation issue at this market is [an] ongoing problem, one rat scurried past as we were attending to the kitten," Chai stated.

Animal welfare groups Acres and SPCA have been calling for a ban on glue traps for years.

While glue traps are easy and cheap to use, and they are usually meant to remove rats, other animals fall victim to them too.

This is not the first time that a community cat got stuck onto a glue trap.

Acres also highlighted that glue traps are indiscriminate, cruel and do not tackle the root of the problem.
