"Hello, my name is John Ruther and I would like to deliver a message, using the experience of my dog companion Logans' death in a snare trap." - May 21, 2008 "Our dog almost died in a trap on Sunday. We thank Footloose Montana, the Missoulian, and the Ravalli Republic for bringing the trapping issue front and center over the last year." - Two Footloose Montana members from Stevensville, MT "After several hikes, I bumped into traps again, ruining another experience. I have hated trapping for it's cruelty and for how it has ruined my winters. All this by less than one-half of one percent of Montanans. My wife and I have joined Footloose Montana, realizing that the only way to end this nightmare on our public lands is to make trapping illegal and end it, once and for all." - Mike |
