Whether the victim is a wild animal or a domestic animal, trapping is cruel and inhumane. To say that it has anything to do with controlling wildlife population is a weak argument — hunters are not in charge of controlling animal populations, nor do they kill for that reason.
Preying on helpless, sentient beings for sport with torturous traps and powerful guns is just wrong.
