"Federal agency kills 7,800 animals by mistake in steel body-grip traps"
Still, it does seem a bit cruel...
Tom Knudson recently reported about it at SacBee.com:
"...Wildlife Services body-grip traps – which consist of two square bars of steel that snap together like the jaws of a crocodile – have killed more than 7,800 animals by mistake over the past six years, more than any other agency tool. The list of non-target victims killed since 2000 includes more than 85 species, most native and many aquatic, from wood ducks to snapping turtles, green-winged teal to alligators."
