Sorry to hear that. I think probably most states will be seeing the attack coming to them in the near future. This is a national thing funded by big money that trappers by themselves have no chance to match. Right now the strategy is to attack vulnerability and then move on to the next.
Rest assured they will be after your state too.
We are not helpless though. Get involved, join your state organizations and the national ones. The states that can boast the biggest most active organizations are the ones that will be last on the list for attack.

I believe the anti's tactic is to pursue a lawsuit every year to suck the resources (money) dry from these organizations to the point they can't continue to fight. It would be more proactive to have states implement something that prohibits or prevents trapping from being banned. I think there have been a few states that have implemented such a thing.

Education of the public is key to keeping trapping alive and well. The days of being able to stay out of sight are done. All need to become proactive as the folks growing up in the concrete jungle only know what they see on the TV as they have NO hands on experience. Join your state and National organizations and become ACTIVE in them as well.
Some individuals use statistics as a drunk man uses lamp-posts — for support rather than for illumination.

Just wait until “pets” start becoming snacks for the predators, then they’ll be screaming something needs to be done. That's been an issue for years in Albuquerque. It became an issue when Albuquerque stopped allowing hunting and trapping. All year the wardens are overwhelmed with calls for that reason, for coons, skunks, porky's, yotes and that isn't the foothills area either. The warden's get even more calls for all animals causing problems for the people that live in the foothills. Yet these are the same people that constantly complain then they see a hunter or trapper and they flip out.

NM trappers should start a “get to know your furbearer program” were they catch and drop off everything they can catch at the fools that voted for this mess at their homes, you know so they can sit around the campfire and talk to them. LOL
