Each year, millions of people visit the National Wildlife Refuge System, often with their furry companions. Many people do not know that trapping is permitted on 216 (38%) of national wildlife refuges, making these protected lands very dangerous. Traps are cruel and indiscriminate. In addition to killing and injuring millions of targeted wild animals, traps also pose a serious danger to companion animals and even to humans.
