Ban All Trapping In America Now!

I pledge to CLICK ON TO HIGHLIGHTED PETITION TO BAN TRAPPING, SIGN IT AND SHARE IT!

Take the Pledge
100,000

55,726 people took the pledge

PLEASE click on this link to add your name to this government 'WE THE PEOPLE' petition----it is said that if we meet the 100,000 signature deadline by February 19, 2013, the President will, personally, view and consider our petition------https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/ban-trapping-america-all-other-civilized-countries-have-already-done-based-cruelty-and-torture/4vhVGVbz   Reaching 100,000 signatures in less than a month's time, tells the administration that there are a lot of people who care about this issue and we want the change we were promised!

It is a monumental task to get 100,000 signatures in less than a month---but I truly believe there are many more than 100,000 people who want to end the torture of trapping our wildlife!!  WE CAN DO THIS WITH LOTS OF DILIGENCE AND SHARING!!

The petition speaks for itself, and we all know how unthinkably cruel trapping is and how much the innocent animals suffer the pangs of hell.  

The rest of the civilized world, who have already banned trapping look at us and rightfully wonder how we still allow this barbaric activity from the dark ages to still exist!

100,000 is a lot of signatures---but envision all the animals that are being trapped as you read this, who will cry through the night in misery and miss their families....please help !

The unspeakable torture these animals must feel makes my stomach turn. Looking at that picture, I just want to cry. I'll get mad (again) later.

Paul Leary, no. I get upset, but that doesn't justify inflicting such cruelty to any living being. Common sense. No human being should ever feel justified in inflicting pain and suffering to anything just because we can.

Killing is one thing but torture is a whole other manner!

Traps are nothing but indiscriminate torture devices and there is NO excuse for their use!!

This is such a prehistoric practice. We know how to prevent suffering, so let's do it.

Monika Fisher Humans are the same lousy people everywhere - it does not matte from which countries they come from - does your country have 100 % vegan population ? If not then you have no right to pass comments on other nationalities. Three Cheers Animal rights !

Its disgusting how they let these poor animals suffer so badly.....

I will not sign this pledge because trapping of animals is an acient form of hunting that is no different than shooting with a bow/arrow, a fire arm or using a spear. We must remember that we are human beings. We made it to the top of the food chain by eating animals they were caught and killed using various methods that include trapping.

Remember your place is above that of any animal. Animals are meant to feed us and serve us; and in a few occasions be our pets. Yes we can eat...

Remember your place is above that of any animal. Animals are meant to feed us and serve us; and in a few occasions be our pets. Yes we can eat vegetables(quite a few I love) but a normal human diet consists of a healthy mixture of both animal flesh and vegetables.

This is not abuse to trap an animal to kill it and eat it no matter how cute it may be. Do some people trap animals to abuse them? Yes. There is nothing we can do about that except when they are caught we can then punish those individuals.

Remember that a human's life is worth more than any animal. Eat and enjoy.

These traps are random. A hunter has a specific prey. Most are not monitored. The animal chews off a foot or rots.

You're an unloved, inbred, oxygen thieving loser trolling for some cheap thrills to put in your wank bank so you get a reaction & that's it. Hope you end up destitute & homeless so you can experience unending suffering, just like a trapped animal.

It just occurred to me; is this person deaf? (Their online name is Joe Deaf). It might explain the lack of sentence structure, etc? i don't know, but i don't want people to think I was being insensitive.

@susan dumas, Has it not occurred to you that just because Michelle was criticizing Joe's grammar, she wasn't criticizing his message? She asked him to explain what he said, she wasn't opposing him in any way. I don't think it was her being so full of herself and thinking she was marvellous [sic], because she was sooo clever to kill a poor defenceless [sic] animal.

the only difference between the animal and us is they can't talk but they feel, pain and suffering all together we can stop so let's do it.

We call ourselfs humane, how ?

And is there a word for human with good manners? Not in Logan's house. Please stay on subject - cruelty to animals. Not cruel snarkiness to humans. Thanks and don't bother to reply.

Terry Church

LMFAO Wow, and you actually think yourself intelligent with your reply? Hey Logan, did you even graduate from grade school???

This barbaric treatment of animals is unreasonable please stop this practice now a lot of these animals are very beneficial to have around can you imagine a planet without wildlife it would be so ugly and lifeless harming trapping hunting and experimenting on animals is a needless and ridiculous practice and should be done away with post haste.
