When It Comes to Trapping, Does Your State Have a Passing Grade?

Tomorrow (Saturday, September 23) is National Hunting and Fishing Day, a day – according to the organizers’ website – to “share the good news about hunting, shooting, fishing.” On the eve of this inauspicious “holiday,” Born Free USA has released our 2017 Trapping Report, which includes an actual report card that assigns a letter grade to each state based on the existence and effectiveness of the state’s trapping regulations on animal welfare, wildlife conservation, and public safety, ranging from A+ to F. Sadly, for animals across the United States, the news is anything but good. See how your state did!
