Comments Off on NEW MEXICO: New Law Bans Traps, Snares, Poisons on Public Lands
SANTA FE, New Mexico, April 5, 2021 (ENS) – New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, today signed into law a bill banning traps, snares, and poisons on public lands across the state nicknamed The Land of Enchantment.
Called “Roxy’s Law” in honor of a cattle dog who was strangled to death in a neck snare on public lands in 2018, this new law will go into effect in 2022 and will save native wildlife, recreationists and companion animals from cruel and indiscriminate traps, snares, and poisons on public lands.
