under ground roumor has it,
A peta member was using a live rabbit tied down to the ground surounded by traps that were not staked so any animal caught in it would drag the trap in to the woods.
as much as that above sounds like a big crock full, it is more plauseable than a trapper using an un staked trap.
It is well known that owls only go after live prey. hawks and eagles also hunt but will turn to scavageing in times when food prospects are not moving for several days.
as a trapper my self, there are only a cople ways to trap an owl by the leg, one is the way for mentioned and the other is to climb a tree or find the nest where the owl roost and set the trap in the nest. even in those cases a poacher would have tied down the trap.
this has all the signs of an animal rights activist falling off his nut because he cant condem law bieding sportsmen leagaly.
a poacher would not risk damaging the owl by using a leg iron or conibar. not even if he wanted it dead. Marred or mangaled product has litte or no value.
