Torture to Animals and nuth1esa
Destruction OF Game.

Torture to Animals and Ruthless
Destruction OF Game.
People who have not seen can form
TO idea of the suffering trappers cause
nor Of their ruthless destruction OF
game. Nothing escapes them. Even the
iquirrels are sacrificed to bait traps
for marten and fisher, and not only the
squirrels. but ali kinds of birds. wheth-
sr game or song birds.
In trapping mink, otter. beaver and
a few other fur bearing animals the
trap is nearly always set near tho
water, where the animal when caught
can drown itself. thus ending It's suf-
fering.
But with bear, marten and fisher 1t is
different. The bear must drag heavy
clog about until II catches in some root
or bush. There he must walt until the
trapper comes to kill him, and this in
some cases is not for days. The bones
OF the leg are almost invariably broken
by the trap, aud the leg swells to In
credible size. One trapper In one day
shot nineteen large blue grouse merely
to try new rife. The birds were nest
ing. He had no use for them, and not
one did he even bring to camp.
Years ago in British Columbia an old
trapper camped near our bear hunting
party. He shot everything he could
find, even little ducks and marmots. A
goat he killed fell over a cliff, and as
it was harder to recover It than to shoot
another he shot another He was

about TO become q mother.
