Hello and thank you for adding this important subject to your agenda on Tuesday.
Trapping season is just around the corner and I support BANNING any trapping in
Sourdough Canyon immediately.
This specific area is way too populated with people and their dogs, the risk is too high to allowtrapping here and the city would get plenty of very negative press if a dog ever got trapped by
accident and the city had continued to allow trapping here. Traps here are high risk and lowreward. You can't please everyone's interest, but it is clear to me that the majority of voters in
the Bozeman area that use Sourdough Canyon for recreation on a regular basis year roundwould agree that they DO NOT WANT TRAPS in Sourdough Canyon and would be
surprised to know that there are even any allowed at all right now by the city.
You can stop this accident waiting to happen, stop trapping before something happens tosomeones loved pet. There are plenty of other less populated areas that are better suited for
trapping, although I oppose all trapping 100%, but this area seems like a no brainer - it has tostop in Sourdough Canyon and you have the power to stop it, thank you.
