YOU need to oppose ACR25 and SCR11 NOW
BY What ever means that you are most comfortable with -- email, phone or fax -- you need to contact your local legislators - both Assembly and Senate because time is running out again! Encourage your friends and family to do the same.

These resolutions are being pushed forward in an effort to take the DP Trap away. They want to compare it to a steel-jawed leg hold trap which is NOT true.

If both of these resolutions pass the two houses, it becomes LAW!

Please contact your local legislators, not just once, but over and over, to voice your opinion.

Link to find your Assembly members and Senators:
http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/districts/municipalities.asp

Link to ACR125 - http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/2016/Bills/ACR/125_I1.HTM

Link to SCR11 - http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/2016/Bills/SCR/11_I1.HTM

This information that follows is from our previous email blast: "The encapsulating trap or commonly known as the Dog Proof Trap (DP trap) is not the same type trap as the steel jawed leg hold trap that was banned in 1984. This trap has its own classification in the North American trap standards (BMP) and The International Trap Standards (ISO) The DP Trap in fact would have been an alternate trap for raccoons if it was developed at that time of the legislation to be implemented as stated in the 1984 Statue 23:4-22.4 portion of the law banning the steel jawed leg hold trap. The DP Trap was not in use at the time of the 1984 ban so there for could not be adopted to fulfill the total law. This trap fills all the criteria of the law as the adopted trap and the NJ Fish and Wildlife Council acted in accordance of the law both in the trap and adopting an alternative trap.

What I do is write a message that is fairly universal such as: "I oppose SCR175 and am highly concerned about the possibility of increased rabies in animals in my area."

IT IS NOW OR NEVER. PLEASE MAKE THE CALL and then get at least two more people to do the same. If we lose the DP it will not stop there.

Thank you,

ACR25 has come out of committee it now will go to the floor for a vote. Senate SCR11 has not been voted on in committee yet. These are resolutions to the 1984 leg hold ban saying that the DP Trap is a steel jawed leg hold.. if these 2 resolutions pass floors then it becomes law. does not go to governors desk. they are trying to change intent of the 84 ban from banning steel jawed leg holds to mean all foot traps. we need every active and inactive trapper along with every outdoorsmen in NJ to call or right as often as they can to oppose SCR11 to the senate and ACR25 to the Assembly. This is more than a anti trapping issue, if they can change intent on legislation then they will go after hunters next. this is the real thing. Simple say I oppose ACR25 or I oppose SCR11.

the link ACR125 is the wrong link the resolution against the DP trap is ACR25

I sent all for ACR125, as stated above. Will have to resend

Please also call your assembly people about Acr 25. Very important to also call all the senators on the Senate Environment & Energy Committee. Thats where the resolution SCR 11 is right now . If we can keep it in the committee it will help greatly. Thanks to all that are writing and calling. Don't stop now call and write weekly or better twice a week. "They" are making a lot of noise about this. All sportsmen have to do the same before its too late.

just got done emailing them again falcon. my boy will be emailing tonight

Resent to Senators & Assemblyman to oppose ACR25 and I oppose SCR11.

Got to be more help on this site.

Is there a problem with forwarding the same email over and over from the same email address ?? Just asking

nope just keep sending

NJ and out of staters we need to move NOW
On the 20th of Oct that's right this Thursday, The assembly floor will vote to ban the DP trap again. What they want to do is change the intent of the 1984 legislation to fit what they want today. truth is they want to stop trapping. And the DP is the first step. They are doing this with false statement, (I am not allowed to say the word lies) This is a very bad place to be, as if they can change intent on this legislation they can then do it anywhere they want just because they don't like something. Science and BMP testing shows that the DP trap or Encapsulating trap is not the same as the steel jawed trap that was banned. yet in a video the AR groups sent out to the Legislators showed a Steel Jawed leg hold in a clear box and said is what NJ Fish and Wildlife is calling a Encapsulating trap. we need to call every Assemblymen and women this week every day. we need to make the phone ring off the wall. they need to not only hear from trappers but also outdoorsmen and women. Please take 5 mins every day till Thursday to call at least your 2 assembly persons and tell them you oppose ACR25 and you oppose them trying to change intent of the 1984 legislation.



Shoot over to the NJ fur harvesters Face Book page for example letter and list of assembly persons. NJ Trappers also has list of Assembly persons

I emailed a bunch. Including my own.

I did the same pop pop, should have a few more calls as we put close to 30 through class this weekend. for everone else on here I am attaching a link. all you have to do is copy all the assembly men email address in your "to" line in email and say you oppose acr25 and scr11. its quick and simple and you can contact them all in one email. act now the assembly vote is thursday.

Emailed all of them today.

Zero responses so far...

I got a couple today

Called, emailed, and wrote letters. Wife and all friends called as well. Passed along to several hunting clubs. Hopefully the hunters will call as well.

Assembly will most likely pass Need to keep the pressure up on them though make them see the we are opposed to ACR25 we need to hit the Senate committee hard now with calls and writing opposing SCR11. Then go right to the senate floor also. Need to stop in committee but in case we can't we need to be working on floor. the video that the AR groups made with the 1.5 steel jawed leg hold in the box and calling it an encapsulating trap really did some damage. It looks like maybe and I may be wrong but the legislators may not doing any fact checking!!!!! Need to point that out. The encapsulating trap we are using is the Dog Proof not a steel jawed leg hold.

I'll do what I can but I think imma start planning a move to a better state.

I know a bunch of people who been calling and emailing, I just hope they are listining to us. every time I call I just get Secretary and they say they will pass message along.

Just finished today's rounds of calls/emails. Ive seem to have more success selling this to my hunting friends by piggybacking SCR-11 to S-2702 (the bear bill) Telling people to mention both bills when contacting their legislator. The possibility of losing the bear hunt and not being able to bait deer in "bear habitat" is a big motivator.

we need to stay with it. Non trapping outdoorsmen and women now see what is going on with the bear bill no time to play.

I was able to reach some hunters and get them to call and email about the bear bill and also oppose acr25 & scr11.

Got a few responses so far, not many. I don't have the time to call. Always to late.

I got one response that basically stated that public exposers to rabies is another issue with these traps. Apparently...

I got the same responce saying he agreed with me but wanted to look into rabies exposure and he might make a motion to send it back to second reading

I got a responce back yesterday from a assemblymen that I emailed weeks ago before the first vote, he responded to me saying thanks for supporting acr25. I was like (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman), guess he didnt read it

Good to know that lesniak is advised by a convicted criminal http://law.justia.com/cases/new-jersey/appellate-division-unpublished/2008/a4068-06-opn.html

To get things in prospective. The law suit was ruled that the DP trap is not a Steel jawed leg hold and that the Fish and Wildlife council has the authority to adopt this trap as a replacement for the Leg hold. That is good but the war is still not over. The senate can still act on the SCR11 and place the DP trap into the banned category. We need to keep telling the Senate committee and the senate floor in a respectful way that we want them to look at science and facts on the DP trap. To seek real information and council on the trap from the authorities like Fish and Wildlife, BMP’s for examples. To look at the fact that with just one season the DP trap increased the raccoon take by 5000 raccoons, with low fur prices, and NO negative impact on pets, livestock or humans. This is important for NJ as we are on the edge of another rabies outbreak. right now, our numbers are back to the late 80's numbers. If we hit the 90's numbers, the pockets of rabies will go state wide again like it did in the 1990. This tool can increase the raccoon catch with more efficiently with less non-targets catches with a higher social acceptance once folks see the trap. We need to show that the DP trap does not cause the damage and animals can be released when set properly. The trap is a for the most part a species-specific trap for raccoons and opossums, Non-targets such as dog will not be caught by the pull system. the DP trap is not a steel jawed foot trap. The trap is the best tool to control the raccoons in the state of NJ with the least amount of negative problems.

We need to stay on facts when writing emails. for some reason phone calls, may not be documented correctly we are advising folks to call but e mails are important. When you email, please BCC the email to njfedtrap@gmail.com so we can have a record of the emails being sent.

sorry ron for bcc'ing you again last night on your work email, I didnt get text of new address till just after I hit send

OK, that's a lot easier. What were you putting/saying in your emails.

pop pop your over your private message limit but here was my last responce.

please oppose scr11, A three Judge panel of the Appellate Division of the Superior Court found in a unanimous decision that the N.J. Fish and Game Council acted within its rights and the intent of the 1984 law that banned the steel jawed leg hold trap when it legalized the dog proof trap for use during the 2015/2016 trapping season. The court also ruled that the dog proof trap was not a steel jawed leg hold trap as defined in the 1984 law. The trap that was in question is “foot enclosing” and does not operate as jaws with only one movable side of the trap.

New Jersey rabid raccoon attacks have been endangering public health for some time. These are just a few of the instances where the public was effected and endangered.

· Boonton Township, Morris County Park, July 27, 2016. A 76-year-old Morris County man was attacked by a raccoon, park closed after attack.

· A rabid raccoon attacks and mauls a six-year-old boy on his way to school in Elmwood Park, N.J. January, 28, 2016.

· Police warning residents of Hasbrouck Heights, N.J. after Raccoon attacks. June 20, 2016.

· A raccoon attacks terrifying neighbors in Denville.

Despite an expanding raccoon population in New Jersey and the high rate of rabies found in that population, the New Jersey Assembly voted to ban the use of the encapsulated Dog Proof trap as a means of controlling raccoons.

Subsequently this new trap was reviewed by the New Jersey Attorney General who found it to be a legal alternative to the steel jawed leg hold trap that was banned by statute in 1985 and the results from the first seasons use of this trap indicates an increase in the raccoon harvest and not a single reported case of a non-targeted species being captured

PopPop the wording on S2750 is very open the words certain traps is used this is not known what traps they are trying to ban

So what do you want the email to state on S2750

jonsesie is right with the wording on the new bill is so vague they could basically ban any and all traps including cable restraints.lesniax is spearhedding this one also.

This is what I put in the email I sent.
