I support allowing trapping only for those dedicated outdoorsmen who first pass a a test. They must insert their foot into a bear trap to be crushed. Then after waiting a day they must cut that foot off at the ankle. That's the torment some trapped animals endure, so if you still want to trap after this initiation, you've earned the right. By the way, stories of animals chewing off their legs is not just anti-trapping propaganda. I found an old trap in a field this week with a bone inside. The tortured animal had walked over 300 yards from the nearest creek.
