The National Anti-snaring Campaign (NASC) is an animal welfare organisation that campaigns against the sale and manufacture of animal snares in the UK.
They have a network of trained campaigners who investigate snaring reports and who are always looking for illegal snares and traps.
The main aims of the NASC are:
To increase public awareness of the cruelty of snares and traps
To collect and document incidents involving snares throughout the UK
To expose shoots and landowners who continue to use snares
To encourage other animal welfare groups to actively campaign against snares used by the game shooting industry
To political lobbying for the total abolition of the use of snares and traps
Although not tied any other organisation they collaborate with likeminded organisations and recently provided advice to Black Foxes UK in March 2021, after an escaped silver fox required her leg amputating after a lifechanging snare injury.
