im not saying i kno anythin of hunting or traps but when i look at that thing and the ones on that magic show i can almost c the animal trapped in it. i mean yea this one looks like it aint got teeth but some look painful and if u dont check them that means the animal would suffer for days if it broke its leg. i mean quick death and all is cool i gues i mean ppl need to eat and all but i just think of torture trying to get out of it. again i dont kno shit of traps and just giving my oppinion.

@solemshadow Traps with teeth are no longer used. The traps in the Penn & Teller trick are the old fashioned style and probably picked because they were large and scary looking. Most states have a 24 hour check law. In other words the traps have to be checked every day. Animals don't sit in traps for days at a time. If you read the negative comments on this page, you will see just how misinformed people are about trapping.

No one gives a shit if you've got your hand caught in traps before, you're still a fucking cunt for being a trapper. So big woop, you think because a trap "doesn't hurt all that bad" that this is some type of humane way of "hunting?" What a dickwad. You are a sick bastard.

@Merrida100 Wow Merrida...ignorance at it's ugliest. Get your facts straight and know what you're talking about before making idiotic attacks.

"I am a trapper" Correction, I am a cruel cunt.

[reb0968]

@lyricaltesting It takes a big man to admit that he is a cruel cunt. I commend you on your bold admission and hope that you keep moving forward with your therapy.

[TouchMyDot]

Well done for making a blindingly obvious video-that was never part of the trick that Penn and Teller performed-it was never supposed to be hidden from the audience. He does it blatantly! In-bred animal sadist.

[antimistic]

Wow it looks tough to set a trap. Do people still uses these kinds of traps? Where you gotta manually set it? Have you ever gotten your hand trapped before? It looks like you almost did with your first attempt. Nice vid btw. Screw these folks that say trapping is bad.

@pklukepk hello free food. noone traps to hurt animals the trap for the free food and some ppl trap to sell this food to others in order to make a living.

just because some ppl choose to see it as an act of cruelty(sp?) doesnt mean ppl who do it "are" cruel. mostly thier just hungry and broke.
