Don't the traps break their foot/leg?? ETA: or cut off circulation to the point that the foot dies?

How do you release it? Are you able to get close without getting bitten? Incredible pic, he looks very unhappy......obviously  |

The traps aren't strong enough to break their bones, unless a non-targeted animal such as a rabbit, gets caught, then obviously they will have broken bones. And there are ways to greatly limit non target catches. The term "leg hold trap" is a misnomer that antis like to use to guilt people into thinking that the trap breaks animals legs, or that your kid might step in one and get their leg broke. I caught my beagle by accident when she escped one night in a #1.75 coilspring at a fox set, and other than the swelling for a day, she was perfectly fine. |

Most coyote I have released are very mello..rarely do they get aggressive..I slip a catch pole over his head hold him down, released the trap jaws, pulled his foot out, and let him go...he trotted away...that's it.They are very submissive...well sort of..  |
