>Points to Make

>

>1. We are the only civilized country who hasn't yet banned these

>traps. Leghold traps maim animals. These landmines for wildlife are

>spring powered instruments of torture that snap shut on an animals

>paw with a vice-like grip. Torn flesh, ripped tendons and fractured

>bones are common place.

>

>2. Leghold traps are non-selective. Whatever comes along with fall

>into the

>trap. This includes peoples' dogs and cats.

>

>3. Leghold traps serve no legitimate purpose. These cruel devices

>are banned

>in 90 countries and 8 states, with no negative results at all

>

>Make those calls; send those cards and letters! Let's out hustle

>the trappers!
