Pa ystyriaeth y mae'r Gweinidog wedi'i rhoi i gyflwyno cynllun trwyddedu ar gyfer rheolwyr pla proffesiynol i ddefnyddio trapiau glud mewn amgylchiadau eithriadol yng Nghymru, fel y'i cyflwynwyd yn Lloegr gan Ddeddf Trapiau Glud (Troseddau) 2022?

The options and cost benefit analysis within the Explanatory Memorandum to the Agriculture (Wales) Bill provides further detail about the considerations given to a licensing system.

My primary concern is animal welfare and introducing a licensing system is not compatible with the high animal welfare standards we strive for here in Wales. Even in the hands of professional pest controllers, glue traps cannot be considered a humane method of capturing vertebrates. Adequate, efficient and more humane forms of pest control are available and in regular use in Wales.
