Last month, a hunter from Bozeman went to search the area their dog had just gotten caught in a snare while accompanying them cross country skiing. This is what they found. Not a quick death. Not a painless death as this poor creature struggled in strangulation to break free. “Note that its trachea is completely pulled out of its neck.” They saw 19 other snares in the immediate vicinity. All legal. All common on our Montana public lands costing the trapper only a couple of dollars per snare to indiscriminately torture any unsuspecting living thing for fun and profit while they wait in the comforts of their home
