ABSTRACT:
The trap comprises a frame and a pair of jaws pivotally mounted to the frame. Each jaw may be moved between an opened position and a closed position where the jaws are against the leg of the animal to be caught. The jaws are devoid of teeth or acute portions in order not to wound the caught animal. A lace, provided with a one-way loop and having one end anchored to a tree or a root, is positioned underneath the jaws in order to tighten itself around the leg of the animal. When using the trap, the animal that is caught will try to escape, this will have the effect of moving the trap. However, because the lace is anchored, it will tighten itself on the leg of the animal in order to prevent its escape. The animal may move the trap further and extract his leg from the jaws without injury, but it is still caught by the lace. Thus, this device allows one to catch animals without severely wounding them, as it is the case with usual jaws traps with teeth.
