Traps on Public Lands: Hidden, Dangerous, Destructive
Dear Guardian,
Did you know that traps are legal on all public lands in New Mexico?
Despite the majority of all New Mexico voters wanting traps banned from public lands, they remain present and inflict damage on citizens, pets, and wildlife, including the endangered Mexican wolf.
You are invited to New Mexico's "The Troubles with Trapping" roadshow hosted by WildEarth Guardians, the Sierra Club Rio Grande Chapter, Animal Protection of New Mexico, Born Free USA, and the TrapFreeNM.org Coalition.

New Mexico supplied a jaw-dropping 22,961 bobcat furs to the world’s fur market during the years 2000 to 2010.
Not able to attend but still want to donate to end trapping?
New Mexicans value the wildlife that still roams the state's deserts,
grasslands, and forests. In fact, 63% of New Mexican voters believe that
traps should be restricted or abolished on public land. Public lands
and wildlife belong to us all, yet these vicious devices diminish and
threaten these values. Join the movement to ban traps on public lands in
New Mexico!
