Post by: h2ofwl4 on February 23, 2011, 07:15:19 PM: Did not make it out of committee and are "DEAD' for this legislative session. Embrace cage traps or trap out of state.

We can work on it this summer.
I'll know more about what the chances are for next year after the session is over.
There is a story to it all that I'm not sure I should post on a publicly read forum.

And by the by I wish you would not call this leghold trap legislation because that is not what the bill was about. It was about adoption of internationally accepted humane trap standards and the sale of fur from the same.

But if they do not hear from us they will not support the bill, that simple.And with less than 300 members we need more than trappers support.
