USSA Leads Sportsmen to Defeat Federal Anti-Trapping Bill

January 3, 2006 (National)
The U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance and Fur Takers of America rallied sportsmen across the country in opposition to U.S. House Resolution 3442, a bill that bans the use of foot hold traps nationwide. The federal legislation would also have prohibited the possession of fur derived from an animal caught by the traps.
House Resolution 3442 would have destroyed trapping and damaged the fur industry by taking away the most effective tool. The sale of fur, including hats and coats, would have been prohibited if there were not proof that it was obtained without the use of foot hold traps.
Thanks so sportsmen's efforts, the bill was bottled up in committee.
