Sign the Trap Free New Mexico Petition

The use of body-gripping traps is cruel. The suffering of animals caught and held by leg hold traps for long hours or days is unjustifiable: they struggle to be free, the agony of a limb imprisoned in sub-zero cold, the pain of injuries caused by the all-out fight to escape, the broken teeth from biting at the trap, the thirst, hunger, anxiety, terror, the menace of attack by other animals. And the way of death: the trapper clubs the animal, then stands on its chest to cause suffocation.
