ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a method and apparatus for the trapping of animals in a humane manner whereby the animal is not injured during the trapping process, nor is it subject to injury following trapping. The trap comprises an elongate chamber having a top, bottom and two sides, and end covers which are in the form of slidable doors. The floor of the chamber includes a pair of hinged panels which are in a slightly raised position when the trap is set. A link system projects upwardly through an opening in the top of the chamber and is attachable to the trap's triggering mechanism. The trap is generally set by lockingly engaging the end covers in a raised position and engaging the link system with the trigger mechanism. When an animal enters the trap and steps upon the raised floor panels, the triggering mechanism is actuated which unlocks the end panels from their raised position and permits them to drop to a closed position, thereby safely entrapping the animal within the chamber.
