'Poor thing' no!-the traps I now use,are all modern designs,with animal welfare in mind,and I've modified these so they are more humane.One property wanted me to use them in area where I had concerns sheep might stand in them-the owner insisted I put them there,one got caught,but after release showed now signs of ill health-the older steel jaw traps,which will be banned in QLD in January do cause pain.

The dog caught in trap on cover you have concerns about-was a member of a pack that killed a domestic dog-we have had city people move up here and not overly keen on dingo trapping-but after they see a domestic dog get torn to death with there own eyes-they soon call a wild dog practitioner,I'm sure the domestic dog that got torn to death experienced a bit more pain than 'that poor thing'
