“When it comes to types of trapping that clearly infringe on the ability of other groups to safely use outdoor public spaces, decisions should be made in a collaborative process that involves representation from a more diverse range of affected groups. Parents of young children, skiers, hunters, hikers, search and rescue volunteers, mushers and others deserve to have a seat at this table.”
We aren’t the only ones who think that there need to be trapping regulations in Alaska to keep its citizens and pets safe. There are currently no trapping regulations in the state- it’s time for the Alaska Board of Game to make the change. Read on to learn more about this issue.
If you or someone you know has encountered a trap on or near a multi-use trail, road, pullout, etc., please help document it through our “Map the Trap” reporting here. If you would like to support our work on this issue, donate here.
