Welcome to Footloose Montana!
Every year, thousands of steel-jawed leghold traps, body-crushing Conibear traps and throat-choking snares are legally set on Montana’s public lands—all year long. Hundreds of pets, endangered species and other non-target animals are injured or killed in traps.
Footloose Montana provides information about the threat of trapping to public safety on public lands, and its impact on our natural resources.
