SNARES AT ADDINGTON STRIP MINE GROUND

[Treebrook Beagles]

Tom Floyd and Ron Wagner lost their Freeway dog in a snare at Addington last night. By the time Tom got to him it was to late he was lifeless. I would like to say how sorry that I am for your loss. He was a great dog, I ran with him several times.

Was they in KY. or Ohio ?

It seems to me that the person setting the snares has a responsibility to warn the public that that the area is beung trapped. I have had a couple of dogs caught in steel traps. Lucky for me and the dogs, I was close by and released them before any damage was done. No warning was given in the way of signs that traps were set in the area.
Sorry to hear of your loss, but memories of him remain.

Sorry for your loss WAGS. I know last year they were traping across from Cintas. I saw the guys one day out there and they showed me where their traps were.

[dave g]

that is a shame. i very sorry to hear of the loss.

i think here they have to have stops on snares so they choke out accidental catches and also name tags.

Man you just never what goofball things people will do. Very sorry to hear about your loss!!!

I thought,in Kentucky,you were only allowed non locking snares for trapping coyotes.If this wasn't the case,I think someone should be liable.I've snared lots of coyotes and have never had any harm done to dogs.I always make sure of non tangle situations and stay away from anything the animal may jump or climb over and hang itself.Your always going to have a few bad apples in any sporting persuit that give the rest a black eye.

Sorry for the loss, I've heard he was very nice!

Really sorry to hear about this! I realize the long hours that it takes to get a dog where it needs to be and i know you guys had big plans for Freeway.
