Jenny Seagrove has asked the executive to ban snares
A trio of showbiz stars have written to the Scottish Executive in a last 
ditch plea to ban snaring from the Scottish countryside. 
Actresses Jenny Seagrove and Annette Crosbie and scriptwriter Carla Lane are 
appealing to MSPs to reject a law to allow trapping to remain legal. 
They are hoping their letters will lead to the outlawing of the traps. 
Last week the environment and rural development committee refused to ban the 
practice of trapping. 
The new Nature Conservation (Scotland) Bill is set to be voted on in April 
and would become law in a matter of weeks if successfully passed.
