ABSTRACT:
A humane animal trap comprised of two pairs of laterally-spaced arms of spring wire material. Each pair of arms merges at its rear ends with a coil spring portion which strongly biases the two arms of each pair together. One arm of each pair is forwardly joined to a rigid transverse striking bar adapted to be set in upwardly- vertically-spaced relation to the lower arms of each pair, whereby releasing the striking bar causes it to descend with sufficient force to instantly section the spinal cord of an animal. Setting means and release means are provided to achieve this. A locking means is further provided to prevent injury while setting the trap. An alternate embodiment is adapted to trap smaller animals.
