Snares are anchored cable or wire nooses set to catch wild animals such as squirrels and rabbits.[30]They are also widely used by subsistence and commercial hunters for bushmeat consumption and trade.
Snares are one of the simplest traps and are very effective.[33] They are cheap to produce and easy to set in large numbers. A snare traps an animal around the neck or the body; a snare consists of a noose made usually by wire or a strong string.
