Think the Anti's are Busy??

Leg holds are not a killing trap..the trapper dispatches the held animal. Look in the regs for max hours for checking trap. They are useful for the express reason you can release caught animal so if you did catch a persons pet it might be a bit traumatized but alive and not much worse for the experience. Kill traps are a dead pooch. having had dogs dive off the rd into a killing set and escape the experience by a thin hair....leg holds are a much better option near human activities.

This ....and it also allows a trapper to release wild animals that they don't want to kill. I know a trapper that releases all the female Lynx he catches.

Had a friend release a tom cougar as well...might be more stress on the trapper then the cat
