/me adds to the list of ways America is super fucked up
In most of the rest of the western world, simply owning a trap like that is illegal - setting one will land you a serious fine and a criminal conviction. They are super dangerous, and you are just as likely to catch a person as you are an animal

It's safe, it's a coyote trap that gloms on without drawing blood or breaking bones. Can even stick your hand in it.
It's almost certainly an Alaskan trap line and she's possibly commiting a felony. Lynx are fair game for certain seasons and yes the traps aren't particularly nice.
they were invented to catch poor people
Well, how else are they supposed to get the bear arms without traps?
Thank you this made me lol
