More Bad Press For Trappers

Bill Marchel: Tragedy a cautionary tale for hunting dog owners | StarTribune.com

About three weeks ago I wrote a rebuttal piece on a blog post written negatively about trapping. In that instance, the writer interjected misleading information serving only to further reflect negatively on the sport of trapping. In this article, Marchel reports on an equally negative situation involving trapping, but the story is written with greater fairness and a purpose to inform bird hunters of the potential dangers/actions necessary to take.

While I cringe each time I read something negative about trapping, as a trapper I accept it when the author's intent is sincere and not spiteful.
