ABSTRACT:
An improved animal trap of the snare type includes a snare housing having a connection for the snare end of the snare cable and adapted to slide on the main anchor portion of the snare cable. The self-tightening action of the snare, once an animal is caught in the snare loop, is supplemented by a settable and releasable spring member carried by the snare housing in combination with mechanism for operatively connecting the spring member to the snare cable for quick final tightening of the snare loop in response to release of the spring member. The trap includes a trigger device operatively connected to the spring member for releasing the spring and providing a quick final tightening of the snare loop as it finally closes on an animal. The snare housing may include an injection needle for injecting the animal with a lethal or other fluid. An auxiliary spring assembly is also provided to facilitate initial or preliminary closing of the snare loop on an animal to ensure the proper snare action as the animal tried to escape.
