It is confidently stated that the
shocking cruelties Of the steel trap in
common use for catching rabbits can
readily and cheaply be prevented by
twisting few turns Of copper or brass
wire closely around each jaw, below
the teeth where the spring flies up, so
as to insure the teeth being always
fixed a full quarter Of an inch open
when the trap is sprung. Rabbits are
thus caught with equal ease, and
when taken out of the traps are found
uninjured. To complete their purpose,
the traps must be placed far down IN
the holes and be regularly visited early
and late. These modified traps are
most successful. with advantages rela
tive to food. while dogs, cats and
birds derive proportionate freedom
from suffering when trapped by mis-
take.
