Friend,
Today
we are releasing the findings of an undercover
investigation by Born Free USA, in collaboration with
Humane Society International and the Humane Society of
the United States. The investigation, which uncovered
the horrors behind trapping and the National Trappers
Association Convention, was grim and horrifying.
Trapped
raccoons were bludgeoned to death with a baseball
bat,
and one later found to be still alive was
beaten to death by a trapper. A dead fox, who was likely
killed by coyotes, as he was unable to defend himself or
run, struggled
so hard to free himself that his leg snapped clean
through. A cat was also found dead in a trap,
reminding us that these devices can also harm companion
animals and protected wildlife species. |
