An act relating to the use of leghold traps

This bill would ban the use of leghold traps for hunting or trapping wildlife in Vermont. It directly affects hunters, trappers, and wildlife management practices by prohibiting a specific type of trap that holds animals by their legs. The law would prevent the use of these traps entirely, regardless of the animal being targeted or the circumstances of use. This change aims to reduce animal suffering and alter current trapping methods without specifying alternative equipment or enforcement details.
