Activists use umbrella to show dangers of wild boar snares

Animal welfare activists used an umbrella to demonstrate how a wild boar snare works at a press conference outside the Central Election Commission （CEC） in Taipei on Tuesday. The demonstration came as the groups submitted more than 12,000 referendum proposal forms to the CEC, renewing their push for a nationwide ban on the traps. They say the snares can severely injure or kill both wildlife and domestic animals.
