Mayor and Commissioners:
I am writing to support the campaign to ban all trapping and snaring of animals in Sourdough
Canyon. I enjoy hiking with dogs year-round, yet have to be constantly worried that one of
the dogs will get caught in a trap, even on leash. Trapping has no place in our society, and
especially not on a high-use recreation trail like Sourdough. Wildlife use this migration
corridor in the Gallatin Range, including endangered species which puts them at great risk.
These are public lands that we should be able to enjoy without fear. Support a city
proclamation that would benefit the majority of folks and ban trapping in this beautiful
drainage.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Nitz
