I m looking at a veterinarians bill which I pay regard less but it might have been a child who was injured In that trap McLwen who treated the cat said that there is no way of confirming that the cat injuries were caused by a leg hold trap without see ing the trap WOUNDS CONSISTENT The wounds are tent with Ihosc which might be caused by a leg hold trap so it Is a possible explanation of the manner In which Ihe cat injured but I stand up in a court of law and say it was a rap beyond all doubt Dr said Alex of the Wildlife Branch of the Ministry of Natural Resources des leg hold traps as being two jaws which spring up to clamp on the leg of the animal which triggers the trap The jaws don have teeth on them as some people believe he said The purpose of he trap Is simply hold the animal for the trapper to dispose of in whatever fashion he chooses Mr said it is not the trap itself which injures the animal unless it gels caught in a trap meant for a larger animal It is he animal to free itself which cause the injuries The problem with or banning the use or the leg hold trap is that It is very effective Mr Caron said It Is small compact and easily carried and it will work almost anywhere In almost any kind of The ministry has a trap development program which Is working on alternatives to the leg hold trap Mr Caron said and one or two of them look promising One In parti cutar a leg snare trap has great potential he said The trap is triggered by a pan as with a leg hold trap and a snare fastens around the animals leg holding It more comfortably than a leg hold trap does This trap has been very effective In testa Mr said but he docsn know how close the ministry is to insisting on the use of leg snares rather than leg hold T HERALD W March Pa 15 Carrier of the Month- Erin Our Herald
