Wildlife control specialist Stephen M. Vantassel has published a revised version of Steve Meyer’s book, Being Kind to Animal Pests. The book, Being Kind to Animal Pests, revised edition, provides users of cage and box traps specific principles and tips to improve the humaneness of these devices. The advice comes from published literature as well as the personal on-the-job experience of professional wildlife control operators.
The book is divided into three parts. Part 1 discusses equipment, baiting, setting, and use of cage and box traps. Part 2 delves into specific advice for handling the most common nuisance animal species in the United States. The book concludes with information, often overlooked in other publications, on how to handle the animals once you have caught them.
Many people think that “live traps” (i.e. cage and box traps) are humane and do not cause injuries to captured animals. Unfortunately, the truth is far different. Frequently, animals caught in cage and box traps can sustain significant injuries or even suffer death. In other words, cage and box traps are not automatically injury free to the captured animals. Users of cage and box traps need to use them responsibly to minimize pain and suffering to the animals captured in these devices.
This book provides instructions on how to trap animals in the least injurious way practical.
