- From the Fall 1992 issue of _PETA_News_ ("Ask Carla" column):
-
- "Q: My friend had her county board ready to ban leghold traps when a trapper
- showed up at a board meeting and snapped a trap closed on his hand to show how
- 'painless' it was. This convinced officials to table their ban plan. Why
- didn't he hurt his hand? -- Fran D., Springfield, Ill.
-
- "A: Wouldn't it be grand if those 'sportsmen' would just keep their traps
- shut? Next time *you* provide the trap, so the trapper can't pull that old
- tension adjustment trick. Buy a standard No. 1 1/2 or 2 and have the trapper
- put just one finger, not his whole hand, in it. I guarantee you he'll head
- for the hospital as soon as he's out of the room. Or you demonstrate its
- strength by letting it snap a pencil in two...."
