The Nevada State Senate is currently considering a bill that would prohibit the use of cruel and dangerous leghold traps near homes in Washoe and Clark counties. These traps are extremely harmful to small animalsespecially catswho often suffer bone fractures and severe trauma when the trap jaws close, and can further injure themselves when trying to escape.
S.B. 226 would protect cats and dogs from being maimed by dangerous traps, while still allowing humane box traps to be used for Trap-Neuter-Return.
By supporting this bill, needless pain and suffering for Nevada animals can be prevented.
