No matter how much pro-wildlife people plead with politicians to ban the tortuous, barbaric steel trap, nothing will change until we get serious about stopping Public Lands Ranching.

Since the 1800’s , the livestock industry has opposed wildlife preservation & ecosystem protection– it also contributes to Climate Change and water depletion.

This environmentally-destructive industry is responsible for the slaughter of millions of coyotes, bobcats, mountain lions , prairie dogs, wolves, hawks, native wild horses & other animals . They have an arsenal of weaponry at their disposal: steel traps, snares, M-44’s, Compound 1080, on National Forests, wilderness, state lands. Grazing could not survive without these weapons against Nature. They receive millions of federal subsidy dollars to do it!

Wildlife groups: it is time to take this industry on—wildlife, ecosystems don’t have much time.
