I was going to post about this issue, but didn't have time and you beat me to it. All that you have written is correct. This appalling practice only takes place in a part of the SE of France (PACA region). However, like in the USA, the gun-toting, hunting lobby is very strong and is not easily overcome.
The animal welfare organisations and most of the French population - outside of the PACA region - are opposed to this glue trapping. A one year ban is better than nothing. It gives time for the fight for a permanent ban to gain momentum. Before the expiry of that year, in any event, the EU will probably force France to ban glue hunting altogether. Long live the EU!
