Georgia Humane Wildlife Coalition

Take Action

Five quiet, powerful ways to move this forward.

Policy change in Georgia happens because constituents show up — in letters, in emails, at hearings, and at neighborhood tables. Choose the action that fits your week.

01 · Petition

Tell Atlanta City Council to Ban Glue Traps.

Add your name to show Atlanta City Council there's real public support for banning the sale and use of glue traps.

We never share your name or email. City and ZIP help us show where support is strongest.

02 · Follow

Follow the campaign.

We share campaign progress, humane pest-control tips, and Georgia wildlife stories on social media. Following along — and sharing a post with your neighbors — is one of the simplest ways to help this work reach more Georgians.

03 · Legislators

Write your Georgia representatives.

Georgia's General Assembly provides an official legislator lookup. Use it to find your state senator and state representative, then send them a short, personal message. Below is a starter draft you can copy and edit.

  1. Step 1. Look up your legislators on legis.ga.gov →
  2. Step 2. Copy the starter draft below and personalize it — even one added sentence about why this matters to you makes a real difference.
  3. Step 3. Email or call each of your two legislators (senator and representative).

Starter message

Dear [Senator/Representative Last Name],

As your constituent in Georgia, I'm writing to ask you to support humane, science-informed wildlife policy in our state — including legislation to restrict the retail sale and routine use of vertebrate glue traps.

Consumer glue traps are indiscriminate. Animal-welfare organizations including Humane World for Animals and the RSPCA have documented the prolonged suffering they cause to both target and non-target animals, including songbirds, chipmunks, and juvenile reptiles. Ireland and the United Kingdom have enacted national prohibitions, and the U.S. CDC and UGA Cooperative Extension both recommend Integrated Pest Management — exclusion, sanitation, and targeted trapping — as the more effective approach.

I hope Georgia will lead the Southeast on this. Please consider supporting this work in the coming legislative session.

Thank you for your service,
[Your name]
[Your city, ZIP]
