Outlaw the use of leghold traps, snares and bodygripping devices on our wildlife
These devices are probably the most cruel instruments ever invented by man. They are utterly indiscriminate and subject the animal to indescribable suffering. Left for days, they will pull out their joints, break off their teeth and often chew off their own limbs in an effort to free themselves, or slowly suffocate as they struggle against a snare around their neck. Two out of three trapped animals are unintended and are all too often our own pets.
To date this practice is still legal on private lands and used with impunity. If a person treated their pets in this manner on their property, they would be charged with animal cruelty and put in jail. Why then can such torture be allowed on our wildlife in this day and age? Is it because it is clandestine and invisible to the scrutiny of the public?
I ask for you to introduce a bill to OUTLAW this horrific practice that belongs to another age and time.
