ABSTRACT:
A humane animal trap includes a casing defined by upper and lower box-like sections, which are hingedly interconnected for telescoping together to a set position; springs biasing such sections apart to a sprung position; a latch mechanism for holding the upper and lower sections together in the set position; a pair of jaws hingedly mounted in the top of the upper section and connected to a trigger which is actuated by one of the jaws when an animal steps on the jaws for causing the latch mechanism to release the upper section, whereby the upper section moves upwardly relative to the lower section and the leg of the animal moves downwardly between the jaws; springs biasing the jaws to the closed position where resilient opposed edges of the jaws retain the leg of the animal without damaging the leg; and gates which slide partly together above the jaws when the trap is sprung to limit access to such jaws, whereby once trapped an animal cannot readily gain access to the jaws and escape.
