Be nice if Victor sued her for the illegal use of their trademarked name Conibear. Absolutely! A lawyer from Victor called me several years ago when I used “Conibear” in ads for our setter. He said it was their name and I couldn’t use it! Lol I’ve called them body grips ever since.

I offered to come to my congressman office and stick my hand in a foot hold to show him they are neither damaging nor inhumane.
And my congressman (coincidentally a Life Member of AK Trappers Assc) once did that at a Congressional hearing.... in front of God and TV cameras! I'm so proud. It just brings a tear to my eye to this very day! Pete Ol Don ain't perfect, but he's about as close as politicians get! No way in Hades he'd let this fly anywhere. Proposals are cheap. Legislation is expensive.

Boco couldn't catch a cold. But if he did, it would be Top Lot.

I wouldn't fret too much over this one. It will fizzle. The thing to be concerned about is they will keep at it finding new ways.
We need to get all of the sportsmen groups (hunting, fishing, trapping) working proactively to get our positive message of what we do to the general public. If we can work together we will stay ahead of them. Maybe put them on the defensive for once.

Conibear Is the trademark/brand name, so even if passed it is only targeting that particular brand and all leg-holds. Just f'ing idiots in government.
I'd love to see the trap makers get queued up and have aluminum jawed, or titanium-jawed, or any other non steel-jawed leg-hold traps ready to go if this actually passed.
The best thing that could happen for the US would to be a meteor hitting the capital building during a joint session of Congress or a state of the union address. 2) CONIBEAR TRAP.—The term “Conibear trap”— (A) means any trap consisting of two metal frames hinged at the center point and powered by two torsion springs to create a scissor-like action designed to kill an animal by snapping an animal’s spinal column; and

I doubt it will make it out of committee. It is too vague and poorly written to become law as written.
But then again, I thought Georgia would elect two republican senators the other day.
