The environment includes our wild animals some of which are being slaughtered daily for contests and derbies. 85 countries have banned trapping so why hasn't the United States banned this cruel and horrendous way to kill animals. There are millions of us who want trapping banned but it seems no one is listening.

Prevent the barbaric hunting and trapping of animal predators on fed or state lands. Some are in danger of being eradicated by hunting slaughter competitions. As global warming increases, these wild animals will suffer, so killing them off now is biophobic.
