Dear Mayor and City Commissioners,
I urge you to pass the resolution to end trapping and the use of snares on City property in
Sourdough Canyon. The canyon is a pre-eminent recreational corridor for families and theircanine companions. The threat of traps and snares along this corridor weighs on my mind
whenever out trying to enjoy this beautiful area. Trapping may have once been a legacy offrontiersmen but times have changed and society has evolved beyond such primitive pursuits.
Trapping animals is an inhumane and barbaric activity that should no longer be toleratedanywhere for any reason. Please uphold decency and pass this resolution.
-B. P. Kerns
