Genie Was Used as Coyote Bait – Loses Rear Leg

by | Jun 21, 2019 | Incidents

September 2008 told in person: My small dog Genie, before I adopted her, was left in a trap and used as coyote bait. She was rescued, though she lost a rear leg. Now she is happy, but it’s sad to watch her thigh twitch when she tries to scratch with the missing leg.

Evidence of Trapping in Antelope Valley

by | Jun 21, 2019 | Incidents


Spring 2007  email: I live in Antelope Valley and we’re having similar problems in the north valleys with these terrible things. 

I [have] 8×10 glossies of a nearby trap area after a coyote was trapped there. The animal might have spent the full 96 hours (legal) time (or longer) before our dear neighbor checked the trap, because the area is totally trashed: broken branches, bark stripped from trees, piles of needles, scarred ground.

[The] nearest trap is on the next door neighbor’s land (absentee-neighbor) and we’re waiting for her to return a signed letter giving us permission to post signs on her property and kick him off. Unfortunately, across the dirt road from our homes is a 320 acre BLM section where he will move his operation. 

Let’s get the hunters out of our neighborhoods and protect our children and all animals.

Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) Chapter 503 states: “It is unlawful for any person, company or corporation to place or set any trap, snare or similar device used for the purpose of trapping mammals within 200 feet of any public  road or highway within this State. “

November 2008 email: Please contact me regarding these traps. I also have experienced the same problem.[dog caught in trap]I also have photo’s of skinned coyotes left in a pile to rot !!!!! 
These traps need to be banned in Nevada and I will help you any way I can.

Usually we don’t assault viewers with gory photos. But this is just the tip of the iceberg; there is no bottom
to trapper callousness, sadism and cruelty.
