"Padded" Trap? - Don't Be Fooled!

We call it the "Propaganda Trap". The fur industry and North American Governments call it the "Padded Leg-Hold trap".

Whatever you call it, it's a cruel steel-jawed leg-hold trap, and it clamps onto an animals leg with enough excruciating power to hold a desperate, panicking wolf. Can you spot the difference?

The only difference is a thin piece of synthetic material, stuck onto the powerful steel jaws.

And they call it "humane"? - Shame! A Leg-Hold Trap is a Leg-Hold Trap!

Yet still, it is the main trap used in Canada, and in the whole of North America.

 

Leg-Hold Legal in Canada

As of the 1997/98 trapping season, the Leg-Hold trap is still legal in Canada for the Bobcat, lynx, wolf, coyote, fox, beaver, muskrat, mink, and otter.
