NOVEMBER HUMANE
THOUGHT THE CURSE OF
THE TRAP
By A. E. Frederick,
State Humane Officer
State Humane Officer

The season Of trapping is again
upon US. Everywhere men. and
boys are spending a part of their
time in setting and visiting traps.
1t is not mere sentiment to say
that trapping constitutes one of the
greatest forms of cruelty. The trap
seldom kills, but generally wounds
or breaks the leg of the trapped an
imal. It is later shot or dubbed to
death by the trapper, providing it
has not in the mean time died of
fever, starvation or freezing. Even
fur-bearing animals will freeze to
death when they cannot move
around. They feel the want of
food and drink. Often in painful
agony they will gnaw off the leg Of
by which they may happen to be
caught in order to make their es-
cape. Many mother animal has
been seen wandering around on it's
bleeding stump seeking food for her
self and young. It is claimed that
fifteen percent of trapped animals
chew or twist off their legs in or
der to get away. Where escape is
impossible they often fall prey to
the ravages of vultures and other
animals. It is known that crows
have picked out the eyes of trapped
and that larger animals
have eaten trapped animals alive.
Again, approximately twenty-five
per cent Of the animals caught in
steel traps are "fiukes." These are
birds or domestic animals, like the
dog or cat. whose pelts are worth
less. Yet they are likewise SUBJ
jected to intense suffering.
All this untold torture is the re-
suit of the demands of civilization
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1921-11-17

which sacrifices its animal friends
upon the altar of it's own vanity. 1t
is the penalty which civilized man
demands because ne is more cunning
than the beast. 1T is result of his
superior knowledge, his wicked
stealth, and his resmcrseless un-
surupulousness.
So little has man cared to elimin-
ate the suffering entailed in trapping
that not one outstanding invention or
patentable Improvement has been
made in trapping devices since the
days of the cave man. In fact. we
seem to have gone backward in this
reward, for then the deadfall was
used which at least eliminated suf-
fering.
The number of fur-bearing animals
is rapidly decreasing. Soon civiliz-
ed man will have destroyed these
helpless, harmless creatures of God
If we must have their furs, let us
establish FUR farms where animals
may be killed humanely and quick
ly, as is done with poultry and cat
tie.
And if indiscriminate trapping con-
tinues, let it be done under strictest
supervision and under humane laws
strictly enforced. Every trap set
should be visited at least once in
twenty-four hours, and no person
should be allowed to set more traps
than he can personally inspect every
day.
Let us not boost of our civilization
or Christianity until we have ceased
to be cruel. We are both civilized
Christian only after we are just to
every creature of God.
