Oy! That is a terribly tragic situation! I used to live up near Guelph but it has been many years. DH traps and I know this is a big issue for him. He HATES to use killing traps even when he warns anyone who might have pets around for just this very reason. The killing traps kill very quickly and are very hard to open up without the right tools or a LOT of muscle. They certainly should not be used in an area where people routinely walk dogs. That must have been horrible for the owners to have their dog die right in their arms and be unable to do anything about it. Leg hold traps are "catch and release" though. This didn't sound like a leg hold trap. A leg hold trap basically does what it says - it holds the leg. Then the trapper comes along and either releases or kills the animal. DH routinely catches cats around here ::) using the leg hold traps. They are released pretty quickly with just a hiss and a spit at him for the indignity.

that's so sad!!

I can't even imagine what those two girls went through and the grief they are dealing with as a result of their experience. What a senseless, tragic, emotionally costly and infuriating incident. To say my thoughts are with them is an understatement . My heart aches for them and the poor lost puppy.

This is horrible. I lived in Guelph for 4 years and it is indeed a busy walking area where these traps are. Hopefully there are no more accidents.
