A new bill introduced to the New Hampshire House of Representatives, is yet another backdoor attempt by animal rights activists to ban trapping.
HB 1514 would essentially eliminate fur trapping by making it illegal to sell the fur of any trapped wild animal in the state. The bill was introduced after an outright trapping ban failed in the 2007 legislative session.
Aside from the New Hampshire trappers the bill would directly impact, many residents are concerned that they will be faced with mounting overpopulation and animal damage problems similar to those experienced by nearby Massachusetts ever since trapping was banned there in 1996.
Let’s hope the “Live Free or Die” state lives up to its name and rejects another animal rights bid.
