Why do we have to kill animals? I'm amazed that we are no less barbaric than we were 100 years ago. Why do so many people take pleasure in killing animals or other human beings? This is totally disgusting!

I wish you animal whack jobs would go away. 
Here's a couple ideas....
1. Don't set em in your friggin yard where the family kiddo or pet may find em.
2. Hire your friendly muslim to come saw the head off the wiggling, squealing animal.
Now off you go and come back when you can't stay so long!!

Because "your dog is in danger"? Oh yeah...if you let your dog run free to annoy your neighbors.
Oh...I must check on my deer roast.

You asked me if I was proud of my grandfather's actions.
For some reason you seem to think a man caring for his family is an evil thing to do.
You are not a nice person.

Wow, this thread turned real ugly, real fast.
I have a more serious question. Where can I read more about the proposal other then what you just wrote? I would like more information regarding where they will be allowed to set them up and if there will be "seasons". I frequently trail ride with my dogs. Though I tend to stick to the trails with my horse, my dogs do wander into the surrounding woods. I would like to find out if they could potentially be in danger?
Thank you smedrickson for putting this information out for those of us that it could affect.

If you call the number for Steve Bittner (listed in the first post), he was very friendly, answered and explained everything without hesitation. The number is a direct line. Although I voiced my opinion not in favor, he remained still friendly and professional. I am sure he could give you a website for more information, or answer the questions you have.

I don't "dispose" of the animal. I relocate to a remote area and release.

Pest control companies, most refer to themselves as trappers. Commercial trappers are also allowed to use these practices. Your pets and children should be safe provided the person setting the trap follows the regulations and does not set a trap in a public area as often happens. Just to clarify matters, three generations of my family have responsibly hunted and fished and I support a citizens right to own firearms. I do not believe we should ignore practices which are inhumane. Hope this clarifies things for you.

I use live traps and relocate to remote areas where residential areas are quite a distance away and there are plenty of natural food sources.

Both cattle and horses are destroyed in inhumane ways. The slaughter houses use these methods because they are inexpensive. I have the same issues with their methods. Ignoring cruelty does not make it go away. What have you done to stop it?

A Wildlife Control Cooperator is an extension of DNR, a licensed individual/company that provides services for nuisance animal control. They are the ones DNR will direct you to if you have an issue w/ nuisance wildlife (raccoons, squirrel's, beavers, bats, groundhogs, deer, opossums, fox, ect). Animal control is a 24/7 operation for anyone who has issues w/ nuisance wildlife. There are no "seasons" regulating this type of service.
WCC's are paid professionals, not ham-bones setting any old trap any old place hoping to catch whatever.

I started trapping rats with these traps when I was a very young child so please get your facts straight, it is not difficult in the least to remove a foot trap. ( You simply step on the spring strap and the trap falls open ) “I was doing this at age 8” Yes small dogs and cats could be caught in these traps if the owners are so irresponsible as to allow there pet to run free in a rat infested area , do we let them run free in the street ? Maybe we should complain about cars being dangerous . Would you prefer to live in a rat infested area ? Why kill them rather quickly with a trap when a very slow painful agonizing death by poison seems better ?
Get realistic ! If infestation is a problem it has to be dealt with in one way or another. I have never known a child that got caught in a trap, as trappers are rather careful as to how and were they set them. Poisoning on the other hand is a major problem to both pets , children and the environment.

What you think they can't walk back? Exactly how FAR are you willing to drive to relocate??
I personally don't care HOW you kill a critter that could be harmful to my kid/other critters.
Ie:
opossums and EPM
Foxes, coons etc. and Rabies a fox jumped in a neighbor's dog kennel last year which WAS rabid....
My poor chickens are loosing the battle against 'em
Gawd help the wayward copperhead in my vicinity....many times my boot heel has smelled like cucumber.

one of the main things that are trapped as nusience in MD are Nutria. More so on the eastern shore.
Nutria usually have a negative impact on other wildlife species. Because they are colonial in habitat, nutria often overharvest edible plants within their small range, resulting in the killing of the desirable plant species. These "eat-outs" destroy productivity as often less desirable plants replace the more desirable ones. Large populations of nutria definitely have a negative impact on the ability of the habitat to support both muskrats and waterfowl.

removing these animals and placing them somewhere else doesn't solve the problem, it just spreads it and makes it somebody else's.
