As a sponsor of this bill, Born Free USA advocated for the passage of California Trapping Act (A.B. 789) throughout 2013.This law bans the most heinous methods of killing wildlife such as drowning, chest-crushing, and injection with chemical solvents such as nail polish remover. It also reduces the size of Conibear traps (“kill traps”) on land to decrease the chances of family dogs being inadvertently killed. The bill was signed into law by Governor Jerry Brown in 2013.
