We contacted James Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase—which recently acquired WaMu—and explained that animals entangled in glue traps often suffer from torn flesh and even broken bones resulting from their panicked efforts to escape. JPMorgan Chase's vice president promptly announced that the company has ditched glue traps permanently and will be opting for more humane methods of resolving conflicts with mice and rats (we recommend these). Yay!
As a leading company, we hope that JPMorgan Chase will inspire other companies (ahem, Lowe's) to ditch glue traps too.
Feel free to post a comment below thanking JPMorgan Chase for sticking up for mice.

Glue traps are sadistically inhumane and the inventor of them must have had his share of inner demons.
St. Martin De Porres, the patron saint of social justice, loved mice.

It's great to see such a large company defending animal rights. Looks like another big win for PETA and animal rights.

tks to JPM for sparing suffering to these little creatures who when caught suffer and eventually die through no doubt thirst, hunger, pain, etc over a period of time by these inhumane glue traps.. all traps are cruel and the same goes for all the others, leghold, steel jaw traps too. etc..

Thank you JPMorgan Chase for your positive response to Peta.
Peta - are your mouse traps designed to catch rats, too? I have a few house guests who would be more than welcome to take refuge if they didn't worry me about chewing my electrical wiring and insulation.

JP Morgan Chase I am one happy customer since learning about your prompt attention to stopping the use of cruel glue traps and instead using humane methods in your branches here in the U.S.
Thank You!!
