Let me clarify - my original comment was not pro, or con, trapping, but rather the glorifying of the act by taking a lot of time and effort to stage and shoot those photos. The final act of stupidity was releasing them on the internet.

Let's see a show of hands - who thinks that photo will garner support and admiration for the trapping (and hunting) world? Now let's see who thinks it will find it's way into the wrong hands and foster hatred and resentment for the trapping world?

Who among us thinks it would do us good to have that photo on the cover of Time magazine?
