The Agents Rurals service has identified and reported a man for setting up 30 wire snares, an illegal hunting method, in the municipality of Juneda this March.

The operation was carried out by the Special Group for Poisons and Anti-Poaching (GEVA). Following an investigation, officers located the traps and identified the person responsible in the Garrigues region, seizing all illegal equipment found on site.
These metallic snares are considered highly dangerous as they are non-selective, meaning any wild animal or domestic pet can become trapped. Under the Penal Code, using such methods is a crime against wildlife and can lead to up to two years in prison.
Authorities emphasize that these traps are often hidden in remote areas. Citizens are encouraged to report any suspicious activity to 112 and are advised not to touch any traps or animals to preserve potential evidence for the investigation.
