We publish this site to raise awareness of illegal snaring. We try to keep it accurate and up to date, but it is provided as general information only and without any guarantee. It is not a substitute for advice from conservation authorities, veterinarians or the police.
Your safety
Poaching is a crime and the people involved can be dangerous, as can trapped or injured animals. Nothing on this site asks you to put yourself at risk. Do not confront suspected poachers and do not approach a trapped animal. If you act on anything you read here, you do so at your own risk.
