- Just how powerful are the grisly steel-jaw traps behind America's booming fur industry? Reveal reporter Tom Knudson demonstrates.
Steel jaw traps are banned in 80 countries, but widely used in the U.S. Read Tom's full investigation here: www.revealnews...
I just accidentally caught my thumb in one of these 2 days ago... its got a tiny bruise now seeing as it was such a small target. But humans are so delicate these days compared to wild animals so its understandable that i almost died.
Hahahaha that bloke is a joke that done the video.
You mean your skin is tougher then a vegetable that’s 80% water?
Not to mention that he used the biggest trap he could buy. Probably off eBay too. 😂🤡
This video is stupid. I have stuck my hands in them many times and not even a bruise.
Just like this young woman did. ruclips.net/video/hTVKq1pJJEg/видео.html

My dog was caught in a steel trap for 4 days after she ran away from our back yard. She ended up being released by the trapper because the trap was set illegally, and coming back home with a shattered and mangled lower leg and gangrene. There's no way she could have pulled out of the trap herself. They had to amputate above the knee. She's 14 years old now and has lived as a tripod for 10 years. Trappers disgust me.
So, you just spent a minute using a trap to slice up vegetables and the most brittle bones you could get a hold of? They definitely hurt, but this blows it wayyy out of proportion.
It would surprise you to know that these traps actually can break the bones of animals they catch. Either instantly or soon/eventually after being trapped, depending on the animal. This isn't really a bad video
This is a flat out horrible video. Why would a trapper, whose goal is to hold the animal until they arrive, strive for broken and chewed off legs? You would never catch anything. I know, logic doesn't jive with the anti trapping agenda, but it could help you out if you seek it. Yes, if you MISUSE a trap that is far oversized for the species you set for, you could break a bone - but rational people don't hunt squirrels with deck-mounted 105mm guns, either...
NerfinatorCaliber30 and how did you arrive that that conclusion? Do you have X-rays or perhaps a Veterinarian to substantiate that claim?
Trapping and killing Gods first creation is by far the most barbaric and arcane form of sport. Those who participate in this are certainly capable of extreme cruelty to those who can't defend themselves, and surly are capable of cruelty to Mankind.
Lewis Evans you can clearly tell the those bones were boiled and god put animals on the Earth form us to use.
That is a quite substantial trap you have there; mind to share the exact model and maker?
(Just to make sure, you have not used some illegal souped-up version. Because I myself have caught my hand in a leg-hold trap once before for a bet, and that thing seems to be substantially stronger than what I am used to)
So 0 intentions to use on animals right?
@@thevipgurlz2802 Absolutely 0 intentions.
This kind of traps, even if they were of normal strength, are actually illegal in my parts of the world because they are not selective and effective enough (we exclusively use live-catch box-type traps for certain small predators like foxes)
Mainly because we have way to high levels of people roaming through nature, who would in turn frighten the caught animal and make the chances of it hurting itself just too high.
Many different strengths and that’s what most people get wrong when they assume that all types of these traps are inhumane. There’s lightweight rubberized versions now that don’t even cut off circulation and people still cry foul.
you do also realize this trap is closing completely right? the trap catching an animal oly closes half way, with much less force. Again any trapping post you will have guys who catch themselves, it doesnt break bones
I'll continue to use them on an as needed basis even if it became illegal. It's often the only alternative. and this video was quite a dramatization. Did you know all the wolves released in Yellowstone were caught in foothold traps?
You shouldn't unless you try out one and what happens after?
1 that is considered a removal Trap anything you catch you remove 2 matching your trap size to the animal your going after you don’t use a wolf trap to go after fox That all trappers know. All traps are not the same
Do you put up a sign next to your wolf trap "No foxes allowed" ?
Honestly you use the most brittle things and you’re using the biggest traps meant for large animals and trust me some will hurt the animals but now today they are creating traps that don’t harm animals
It is literally impossible to not harm an animal with such a trap. Starting just with the emotional distress, the misscatches, the hourlong suffering and also their death in the end.
@@alexandramerkli9440 Those who know nothing on the subject should not say anything about it. Animals are not like humans; they are not capable of "emotional distress." We've caught lots of animals that we napping when we got there. I can assure you that real trappers dispatch their animals immediately, quickly, and HUMANELY! Traps are check often (most of the time daily) and there is no "hour long suffering" as you said. "Starting just with the emotional distress, the misscatches, the hourlong suffering and also their death in the end." That is nothing but propaganda! I invite you to look up your state trapping assoc. and go with a trapper on their trapline!
That is a straight jaw trap witch is illegal in most states retest a offset trap more Specifically a #2 or #3 coil spring offset duke or Minnesota rap line foot hold you can put your hand in it or fingers in it with no pain or damage
Sure...what's the difference if that's true...you gonna butcher them anyways.
This trap is not up to standards. You have bought a trap that a) does not have any rubber padding or a wide enough jaw to disperse pressure and b) does not leave any space for smaller animals to get out. A trapper can not leave an animal in this for more than 24 hours. The trap hold the foot ONLY with minimal damage. It also has a few swivels to prevent the animal from breaking or twisting its foot. Also, this is a huge trap sized for a large animal. "Steel-jaw trap" is not proper vocabulary. This is a coil-spring foot hold trap. Do your research on state regulations before assuming anything.
Every bone is going to shatter if it does not have any muscle or skin on it.
That's steel jaw traps and I do not use that type of leg hold but use similar one's with padded jaws with the same power available and have caught pigeons with them by the feet unintentionally and when I have released the bird (was one of my own) pigeons had no ill effects or broken bones so I do not find them to be inhumane or barbaric. They are more selective on animal to be trapped and to me much better than a snare.
Damn man, I wish I had you for backup in so many conversations about these over the years. People just don’t want to hear me out about the differences between traps and usually just get scared shitless because of videos like this one.
That is a coil spring (much more powerful than their longspring cousins) it is also a straight jaw (thinner and more painful). Those are illegal in many states however i would have no problem putting my hand in a lingspring foothold. Instead of getting angry id rather educate all who would care to listen.
America was also the last country to stop testing on chimpanzees. I hate it when people generalize, but that country is making it so hard not to...
Where to buy?
Traps are not cruel.....I have caught myself on accident and on purpose many times and have never been hurt....Foothold traps apply constant pressure to the ankle of the animal and hold it there humanely until the trapper arrives early in the morning.....However....a trapper himself can be cruel.....if he leaves his traps too long or if he doesn't set it right....then yes....animals can be harmed...But that is like with everything....
Are cars cruel? No the drivers can be stupid....Are guns themselves cruel? No the user can be dumb...
See what I mean? It's all up to the user of the device that determines how it is viewed.....And tell you what...most trappers do it right...and are humane....There are only a few who ruin the reputation and image of the others....who strive to do what's best for the environment....like me
September, 1985: Minneapolis, MN
A 14-year-old boy stepped in a steel-jaw leghold trap which was hidden on
an embankment near some railroad tracks. He suffered major nerve and
tissue damage. He lost four toes and was in the hospital for two months after undergoing major surgery.
1977: Camp Springs, MD
A four-year-old girl caught her hand in a #2 steel-jaw leghold trap set near
her home. She suffered a crush injury, disruption of the tendons of three
fingers and required reconstructive surgery. She has permanent impairment
of her fine motor skills in that hand.
4 months ago Victorian Sculptures moved out of his parents basement into the real world, only to realize no one cares what he thinks.
@@HobbyOrganist So that is from an animal rights group page Committee to Abolish Sport Hunting. Notice how no names are provided?
Bullshit!
Totally inaccurate information and how certain spring traps work.HowI can one use certain type vegetables to gauge the misuse of such a trap? 'Once again a very inaccurate display of using any type of spring trap, a simple mouse trap would damage some of those vegetables. It was just used to discredit traps and also the trappers who use them.
Is this meant to be a joke? Or possibly a troll video ?
My garden was destroyed by a digging pest. I don’t mind if it’s little leg hurts a bit, I’ll put him down quick afterwards and he’ll soon forget.
LOL this is a goddamn mountain lion trap, how about you look up a video called "the truth about steel traps" by fl trapper, i have caught myself many times, never broke anything unless you get in a kill trap which dispatches instantly
Ill look it up. I want to get into trapping but every animal I’ve accidentally trapped (rabbit, barn cat, raccoon) theyre legs dont look too good. Id like to see somone put their hand in my traps cuz honestly im scared to because its not a stretch to say it looks like it hurts
I got my finger stuck in one today and I don't even have a bruise lol. This was one of those efforts to make trapping illegal by ignorant people.
Nothing like talking about bobcats and then demonstrating a bear trap.
Just say'n.
Yeah that's like a wolf trap Jesus even that's over kill for a wolf that's not even a legal trap
Actually it's a mountain lion trap. Believe it or not, wolf traps spring even softer.
Further more, leg traps don't get the chance to fully fire and thus exert all of their potential energy. At best if you have your set right, the trap will only fire 60% of its total energy upon closing.
large diff btwn veggies/cooked bones/dried out bones and live bone
Hi sir can this trap able to catch hogs
This video is not useing a standard trap the jaws have been sharpened if you think I'm lying go buy a new trap and try to cut your vegetables
Thank you for the video. We need to ban trapping in USA.
This is a pretty terrible trap if it just severs anything that hits the pressure plate don’t ya think?
The exact trap he is using is an Onida Victor #4.
You are stupid if you're trapping cats with that trap stock. Out of the box you can catch and hold coyotes but that trap will cause damage to the leg of any fox, Bobcat, or racoon...... but hey, I'm just a dude on the internet getting served up trash recommendations from RUclips.
Wish y'all the best.
Traps are designed to be just as powerful as they need to be for the species they are designed for. Using a wolf trap on a fox is just not appropriate, which is the equivalent of what you are trying to show here...Celery is the equivalent of a leg bone?... It is inflammatory drivel like this that propagates the ignorance surrounding trapping. Please, write us a scientific paper that proves the similarities between ball point pen plastic and celery as it relates to the density and composition of bone, surrounded by muscle and connective tissue, before portraying nonsense.
im mB 650 cast trap
Cool and dangerous typre of trap might loss your foot..
activist propaganda or the truth?
Tom choice of trap illustrates that he is more concerned about spreading activist propaganda than the truth.
If he was concerned about the truth, he would have used offset traps which are the new humane version of the leg hold trap.
My beloved Heeler pup accidently got herself caught in a modern day wolf trap, an MB750 offset. She didn't like it but was not yelping and when released, didn't even have a limp. That is the truth, not manipulative propaganda.
Watch the 100s of videos of people putting their hands in these traps and not hurting them at all. Doesn’t matter tho, people like this only care about spreading anti hunting and trapping propaganda. They have no real interest in conservation and have probably never set foot in the woods.
Grow a pair and put your hand in it and then do a review
Gotta love Tom's creativeness with this one.....
Hope who set them spend an eternity in hell in these traps.
THE GUVMENT GUN TUK R LEGTRAPS
What the fuck
Thank you for this amazing video.
You're fucking stupid.
Keep in mind that's the same trap that was used to "capture" wolves in Canada and relocate them in Yellowstone. Traps don't break bones.
I have put my hands in steel traps before they don't break bone or cut me
