/me adds to the list of ways America is super fucked up

In most of the rest of the western world, simply owning a trap like that is illegal - setting one will land you a serious fine and a criminal conviction. They are super dangerous, and you are just as likely to catch a person as you are an animal

It's almost certainly an Alaskan trap line and she's possibly commiting a felony. Lynx are fair game for certain seasons and yes the traps aren't particularly nice.

It's safe, it's a coyote trap that gloms on without drawing blood or breaking bones. Can even stick your hand in it.

Well, how else are they supposed to get the bear arms without traps?
