Animal welfare groups push referendum to ban boar snares in Taiwan

Original: Groups renew push for referendum on full ban of boar snares 16:43 Animal welfare groups on Tuesday submitted more than 1

Animal welfare groups in Taiwan on Tuesday submitted more than 12,000 referendum proposal forms to the Central Election Commission, renewing their campaign for a complete ban on wild boar snares. The move revives a long-running effort to end a trapping practice that campaigners say causes prolonged suffering to boars and often injures other wildlife caught unintentionally. The commission will now review whether the proposal meets requirements to advance toward a national vote.

Why now: The submission of thousands of proposal forms marks a renewed, concrete step in the campaign that is drawing public attention.
