#ENDTRAPPING
End trapping on Nevada public lands.
Trapping is a cruel, archaic and dangerous activity that indiscriminately threatens wildlife, humans, and companion animals.
Trapping, including steel-jaw, leg-hold traps, wire snares, and other body-gripping devices cause unimaginable suffering to both targeted and unintended victims, including endangered, protected species and pets.
​
Traps expose animals to psychological trauma, dehydration, excruciating pain, injury, self-amputation, depredation, and a slow death.
​
The public generally abhors trapping and less than .1% of Nevadans engage in trapping, yet it is still legal.
​
Nevada is home to the cruelest trap check window in the American West.
Animals trapped in Nevada are allowed to languish for up to 96 hours before a trapper is required to check their traps meaning an animal can be stuck suffering in a trap for 4 days with no food or water.
