Sydney woman's discovery of lizard on glue trap sparks calls for ban in Australia

A woman in Sydney discovered a blue-tongue lizard stuck to a glue trap while doing laundry, prompting calls for a ban on these devices in Australia. The reptile was in distress, alongside a deceased skink and other insects. Glue traps are already banned in Victoria, Tasmania, and the ACT, but remain legal in New South Wales and Queensland. Wildlife handler Chris Williams highlighted the dangers these traps pose to native animals. Despite the risks, the woman plans to continue using glue traps for mice. Williams advocates for a complete ban and enforcement against their sale, citing the traps' indiscriminate harm to wildlife.
