TRAPPING FOUND GRUEL
UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR TEILS. OF"
ANIMALS' STRUGGLES.
Ensnared Beasts Often Gnaw Off Owa
Legs In Order to Escape 'Ma
jorltr Die Fighting:.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene,
March 18. Professional trapping In
the mountains of Oregon is accom
panied by many pitiful cruelties, ac
cording to A- C. Shelton, field worker
in the department of zoology of the
State University, who has visited many
a line of traps in his travels in the Cas
cades and elsewhere, and in his own
trapping for the University's dissecting
work and museum.
Pine squirrels, flying squirrels and
rabbits frequently get caught in traps
set for fur-bearing animals. The squir
rels are usually eaten by foes before
the trapper gets around. Mr. Shelton
has found dead rabbits held to the
traps merely by pieces of skin, show
ing how desperate had been their
struggles to escape.
Mink and marten often cut them
selves loose by gnawing off their legs.
On the South Fork of the McKenzie
River Mr. Shelton found a coyote's leg,
eaten off just below the shoulder, in
a trap. Three weeks later the same
animal was found in another trap,
caught by its other front leg.
A wildcat In a "toggle" trap has to
stay until its captor makes leisurely
arrival. The "toggle" is set in a pen.
A fir limb with part of the branches
cut is fastened to the trap, and as the
animal tries to crawl away the
branches get fast and hold it.
The spring pole trap makes death a
little easier. A sapling is bent down
and fastened lightly over a log. The
captured animal is swung up into the
air when the fastening breaks and then
cannot bite itself free. Death comes
more quickly than on the ground.
