Traps are cruel devices

Today as I was hiking with my dogs I noticed something strange in a grassy field. There were chains of some sort on top of holes in the ground. I was curious so I pulled up one of them and found a cute little furry animal with its leg caught in a steel trap!

I wondered how long that poor living creature had been suffering as I freed him, with its leg completely gone.

I know that humans can be cruel and it makes me sick.

Allowing animals to suffer in this type of device causes needless suffering. I've also seen people using squirrel drowning traps which really should be illegal.

I have not seen one gopher or squirrel or even a rabbit on my property. Feral cats, Hawks and owls, even coyotes will take care of your gophers and squirrels.

I really wish people would respect animals and not use these traps or other cruel devices!
