A GLUE trap is inhumane and should not be used. One can only imagine the fear and stress the cat experienced ('Renewed calls for ban on rodent glue traps'; Tuesday).

Perhaps Jurong Town Council should also review the cleanliness of the estate, while searching for a solution to the growing problem of rodents there - there will be no rats if the area is clean and well maintained.

Proper education and enforcement should be in place to educate the residents about estate cleanliness.

The estate belongs to everyone - be it humans or community cats, and everyone has their part to play in keeping the area safe and clean.
