Santa Cruz Fishing that was caught in a leg-hold trap chained

The legislation would prohibit the use of leg-hold and body-crushing traps, snares and poisons on public lands in New Mexico. It would not apply to private or tribal land it explicitly exempts other hunting and fishing and it contains exceptions for human health, ecosystem management and scientific research.

Its being sponsored in memory of Roxy, an 8-year-old heeler that died while on a trail Nov. 25 with owner Dave Clark at the federal Bureau of Land Managements Santa Cruz Lake Recreation Area near Espaola. Roxy was caught in a neck snare, and Clark worked to free her but was unable to loosen it before she died.

To make matters worse, when Clark finally freed Roxy from the snare and was carrying her body back to where he left his car, a bobcat that was caught in a leg-hold trap chained to a tree lashed out at him. The bobcat was so severely injured it had to be euthanized.

Surviving on maiming and strangling living things is tragic if true. And New Mexico has already stepped up and banned the so-called rich heritage of strapping knives to roosters that are jacked up on steroids so they can fight to the death. New Mexicans humanity should prevail again.
