Page 8 - PLA11SDEALER-HERALD, WEDNESDAY. MARCH 27,1985 Bill banning traps is in the assembly Movie shown for Easter The sponsor of a measure to ban the use of steel jaw leghold traps i in Illinois says she hopes to solicit support for her proposal from hunters and other outdoor sportsmen who in the st may have opposed similar ns. "Wildlife, humane and en­ vironmental groups have been longtime supporters of this legislation, but I'm confident I can win over some of those who have fought against the bxn in the past," said state Rep. Jill Zwick, R-Dundee. "To do that, I want sportsmen to understand the dangers and problems associated with leghold traps. And, I want trappers to know that humane, practical and inexpensive alternatives are available." Under Zwick's bill, HB 339, the use of steel jaw leghold traps would be a Class C misdemeanor. The bill would also legalize the use of self- locking leg and foot snares, which are the modern day alternative to leghold traps. Snares have been banned in Illinois since the 1940's. A third provision directs the state conservation department to conduct education programs to train trappers in the use of the new snares. "This is not an anti-hunting or anti-trapping bill," Zwick said. "We are trying to modernize trapping. The steel jaw trap is a 19th Century anachronism." "Even if we ijgnore the strong arguments against unnecessary cruelty to animals, there are sound reasons to ban the traps," she said. As wildlife habitat shrinks, the likelihood increases that non-targeted animals will be caught. An animal that is caught m the trap, escapes and later dies of infection or bleeding is of no benefit to hunters. And, while it's hard to get an accurate estimate of how many endangered species are caught e each year, we know the number is significant, she said. "In addition, domestic The Neighborhood Kitchen will present a movie, "The Trouble with Angels," to be shown during-an Easter dinner on April 2. The Kitchen will be serving in St. Patrick's Hall at 3500 Washington, between 4:30 and 6:30 p.m. The Kitchen has been suc­ cessful largely due to devoted volunteers ana the generosity of local' businesses. March is the month for selective service destroy p prize bird dogs because their legs were caught in traps. When you consider the cost of the dog, plus the expense involved in raising and training a good hunting dog, that can represent a significant loss." A survey commissioned by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service showed 78 percent of the public supports humane alternatives to steel traps. "Hunters don't go out, wound an animal, leave it for 24 hours and then go back and kill it. The bad public image created by steel traps hurts all out- doorsmen. Many hunters and ;rs know that and they demonstrate they are concerned about the welfare of the animals," she said. Gov. James R. Thompson has proclaimed March 1985 to be Registration Awarness month in Illinois. Federal law requires all young men to register with the Selective Service System within 30 days of their 18th birthday. The governor said all citizens of Illinois "demonstrate pride in our heritage by exhibiting a high level of patriotism and support for Our national laws" and that "we believe in strong military preparedness to safeguard our freedoms." There is no draft at the present time and no one is being inducted in the Armed Forces. Registration with Selective Service is merely a way of maintaining an identifiable manpower pool in the event of a national emergency. By having this list of names, the nation would save six valuable weeks of time in mobilizing our manpower to face the national emergency. In order to register, every 18- yearold male should go to any st office and fill out a simple that asks for name, ad- telephone number, social security number and date of birth. There is no penalty for registering late, but there is a severe penalty for failure to ;r (up to ; » five years in prison and-or a $10,000 fine). The slogan f for the awareness month in Illinois is "It's Quick, It's Easy, and It's the Law." trappers want to Landscape class is set Learn to d natural residen )lan in a two-i QUIT SMOKING "Quit the Easy Way," suggests Northern Illinois Medical Center, McHenry.
