Apparently the trap had been placed there to catch rats. The post said a rat was seen there as the kitten was being attended to.that the video had been recorded by a friend of Grace Chai, a local resident. It said such traps were easily available and quoted Ms Anbarasi Boopal of the wildlife group Acres as calling for their use to be more regulated.Glue traps are mostly used against rodents but Acres has rescued creatures such as snakes and birds, including endangered ones, caught on the sticky surface.
