Summary:
The Hurds live in rural Idaho with their dog Whiskey. Alan has a trapping license, and he and his wife Laurie do not question the state’s trapping laws and regulations. But, they do question one specific trap type in which their dog, Whiskey, died. On the afternoon of Sunday, Jan. 11 Laurie and Whiskey drove to Road Creek, off East Fork Road, to go on a walk. It was a site they chose that day “for a change of pace,” from their frequent walking spots in Spar Canyon. At one point during the walk Whiskey headed a short distance off the road into the willows. Soon afterward, Laurie heard a loud snap and her dog whimpering and crying. She knew it was the sound of a snare closing and immediately knew her dog was caught in it.
