Summary:

FARMINGTON, NM – The owners of a female husky named Twilight had walked the Glade recreation area for fifteen years before the trapping incident occurred. A new trail was created the summer before, in 2020. Twilight was caught in a trap placed underneath a tree and baited with a cat carcass and dead bird. This trap was less than 20 yards from a heavily used road. Another husky named Ivy was caught in a trap close to this location in November 2020. Luckily, Twilight’s owners were able to be free her with minimal injuries.
