Talk:Animal trapping

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Should not this page be merged with Animal trap somehow? They seem to cover more or less the same subject... P.S. 12:57, 2 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] No mention of people accidentally being caught in traps

I visited the article to find out about people getting caught in jaw traps (or leg-hold traps in modern times). Either nobody put info down yet, or perhaps it doesn't happen often enough? It'd be nice to see what precautions (if any) might be visible around such traps for people to beware.

[edit] This article is filled with animal rights views

It's very distracting and not informative at all.

"Trap", "trapping" and "fur trade" are conceptually and historically distinct terms and shoudl not be merged. "Trap", as a noun or verb, has a wide application in current affairs, and not solely in the context of "leghold traps". Conversely, "fur trade" or "fur trapping" refers to an historic human activity that may or may not be associated with the particular type or form of trap used. It pertains to an entire field of interaction between natives and traders or between business owners and free trappers. There is simply no reason to consider merging these topics.

[edit] Links to Websites

A link to my site (www.mywildplace.com) as removed citing it was a commercial site. A link to www.australianoutdoors.com is still listed and is a commercial site. The link to my discussion board had one banner on it. In the discussion board, only one banner is visible, on the home page three banners are visible. www.australianoutdoors.com has at least 5 banners and ads on the linked page. Please allow me to readd my link, or please remove the link to www.australianoutdoors.com as it is a commercial site.
