BAN INHUMANE ANIMAL TRAPS

 Every year, millions of furbearing animals are killed under the guise of "nuisance wildlife control" and millions more are killed in the name of fashion. Trappers frequently claim that trapping is humane, and necessary. But the facts show otherwise.

 Once an animal is caught they may remain in the trap for several days before starving or dying from exposure. Many states only require traps to be checked every 72 hours. Many times an animal is bludgeoned to death to as to not damage the animal's pelt.

Snares cause an even more ghastly death. They are a wire noose and can cause trapped animals to slowly strangle to death. With leghold traps, an animal many times will chew off his own paw to escape, only to die days later from the injury.

Another big problem is that often a non-targeted animal has fallen victim to getting caught in these traps. Pet dogs, cats, hunting dogs, etc. have all become unwitting victims by stepping into a hunter's trap.

Although fewer than 150,000 people trap in the U.S., the federal government continues to expand trapping on public lands, even in the National Wildlife Refuge System. The wolf hunts that have been reinstated after the delisting of the wolves, have also added trapping to the hunts.

Bottom line trapping is barbaric, non-targeted animals often die, laws often are ignored and there's little oversight. Please help to end trapping in the U.S. by signing and sharing the petitions below.


1- Ask State to Prohibit ALL body gripping traps due to pain and suffering


2- The President of the United States: Ban leg hold traps in the United States 


 3- Ban Steel Jaw Traps


4- Stand Against Idaho's Pro-Trapping Amendment!

5- TRAP FREE NEW MEXICO-

6- End cruel trapping in all Wisconsin public lands.

    It's barbaric, cruel and unfair. the earth belongs to these creatures too, we share it with them, we are supposed to look out for them and treat them with respect. this is not the way forward.

  5. each is a spirit, each by right is alive and part of the chain of evolution. How would a human being feel trapped and then slaughtered? How dare you take a spirit or life for no good reason?

  19. How long do you think they would last if they could trap, or attack us. It is totally useless to practice this stupid out of date slaughter of animals.Again, lets make it sporting. The hunter/trapper should have to go into the forest with one hand tied behind their back and no weapons, like the animal they seek to kill.

    Man has to find a way to incorporate the Wild instead of trying to destroy it. Killing or "culling" is she same thing, why try to pull this over the eyes of the people. We have SOoooo many animals on the Endangered list. Leave the wolves alone...give the "wild" a break!

    I haven't thought about these since I was a kid and kids were being caught in traps left by hunters. Kids play in the woods and ponds, it's extremely frightening to see a friend get caught in one, what do you do? Leave your friend to get help where they may lose consciousness and drown in the pond? Snow, playing in the woods in the snow and get caught... what if you can't remember where your friend is? Your a kid? This happens, these traps are not selective. They are barbaric torture. Hunters should have to take a psych evaluation in order to be allowed to hunt, and if traps continue to be used, each trap should be registered and licensed to one hunter who is then held accountable for that trap.

How does MAN not see how unconscionable this casual disregard for innocent life really is? How can MAN look in their faces and not see the immorality of HIS own inexplicably heinus acts?

    If we are so different to other animals, if we are so superior in intellect and if what separates us from other species is our ability to empathise, then why on earth are we using these diabolically cruel traps? It is the politicians who are bowing to the wishes of small special interest groups that lobby and donate large in exchange for these favours. Well, we have a special interest too, in seeing an end to the appalling torture and slaughter of wild animals by those who are incapable of feeling empathy for others. It would be in everyone's interest if we achieve this by peaceful means and it is time politicians start doing what they are voted in to do, that is to carry out the wishes of their voters.
