Big time hunter hear, and would be trapper if I had a place to get up and go to EVERY morning, but c'mon guys. Give the guy a break. Some of you say he "knows nothing about trapping," and other obvious comments, but don't you think that is why his topic title is "why trap." Teach kindly, and you might get some followers. Shove it down someone's throat like they're an idiot, you just might lose 'em.
As for Zak, sounds to me like he just wanted to know if it was cruel or painful. There's nothing wrong with wanting to know this before starting. Compassion is a good thing. It's not anti behavior, it's just curiosity from a hunter. I'm sure he's not an anti hunter. I'm sure as heck not, its my favorite activity, but I'd want to know what is "cruel" and what isn't before I start something. Lighten up, people, and help others out who may not know as much about a certain topic, then they might be more willing to help you out when you have a question.
