With the recent news in British Columbia that there will be leg traps set for the Coyote Cull in Stanley Park, I feel it is time to raise the awareness around this issue of Leg Trapping. Leg traps are banned in 88 Countries including all of Europe and 9 states in America. Let's add Canada to that list! 

As of recently the Canadian Governemnt has also allowed for double the amount of leg traps for wolf culling in our Province. 

Leg traps are painful and inhumane. 

They break bones and the animal suffers in pain. 

Legally they don't even have to be checked the same day. Leaving the animal subjected to cruelty. 

As found from online...

For instance, according to 2013 documents provided toThe Fur-Bearers by the province of British Columbia, there were only 87 field officers in the BC Conservation Officer Service. British Columbia’s land area is 944,735 square kilometres (364,800 sq mi). That averages 1 Conservation Officer per 11,000 km2, a herculean task to be given one individual to ensure compliance with trapping regulations (in addition to the countless other duties a Conservation Officer is responsible for).

This is 2021. 

A time of change. A time for us to make a difference in how we treat animals that were here long before us humans. 

I do not want to be to graphic but I will say animals do feel. They do suffer and there is no need to use leg traps in this time and age. 

We are to advanced as a society. 

Let's Let's a change. Make a difference and let's be heard. This needs to come to an end.
