There is absolutely nothing wrong with eating trapped game. Me and my grandpa used to snare on his land all the time and eat it. I'm talking like hundreds of animals over the years.
This is a completely uncritical black and white look at killing animals with traps. Traps that wound animals and force them to suffer or cut off limbs without killing them quickly are simply put torture devices. Traps that do such things are are to me and most sensible people the equivalent of land mines. When you and your grandpa step on some land mines and lose an arm, leg, hand eyeball or some toes and suffer for hours or are forced to lived in pain and suffer for the rest of your lives then you come back to this forum and in real life talk about the nostalgia and moral righteousness of traps that torture and terrorize.
Then you have traps that are set and not disarmed and that harm humans and you have trappers (animal torturers) who do not check their traps daily let alone every 12 hours or so.
Imagine not being able to walk anywhere for fear of traps, that is what animals are dealing with. Traps are overwhelmingly abhorred by anyone with even an iota of empathy for animals. Not only that they are completely unnecessary and have always been unnecessary. Animal traps that maim, torture and kill should be banned, just like land mines. Traps are vile torturous weapons - just like land mines.
