A few years ago, while hiking up a Forest Service road. My dog was got by a trap just off the road. There were no signs around the trap or were there any postings of trapping along the road. Given how marginalized wildlife is in this “changing” climate and the fact that public lands are deemed multi use…….trapping has no place to be where the public has easy access. As for our dog, he could have died or be crippled. Lucky for him, we had a veterinarian close by. Times are changing and a few people shouldn’t be allowed to ruin an outing for the many. Thanks, –RJ
