Prohibits the use of leg-gripping traps in New York.
New York S01182 amends the environmental conservation law to prohibit the use of leg-gripping traps. This includes traps with teeth in the jaws or a jaw spread exceeding 4 inches. Exceptions are made for traps used in water during the open season for trapping beaver and otter, or as permitted by regulation. The bill also prohibits setting traps that suspend wildlife when caught and mandates that traps be covered when set or visited.
