ABSTRACT:
A humane animal trap is provided in the form of a cage having two end openings which can be closed by flexible drop gates when an animal has entered. Each of the drop gates comprises a series of horizontal bars slidable on vertical guide rods, with spacer chains connected between the bars. Latches are provided for holding the drop gates normally raised, and tripper means within the cage release both of the latches simultaneously when an animal has entered. A lock mechanism is provided which prevents the animal lifting the drop gate. The top of the trap can be made of flexible wire mesh, so that the trap can be submerged just below the water level but can still allow an animal to breathe by lifting up the top mesh.
