Answer : SNARE
snare, gin, noose – n
a trap for birds or small mammals; often has a slip noose
Snares are anchored cable or wire nooses set to catch wild animals such as squirrels and rabbits. In the US, they are most commonly used for capture and control of surplus furbearers and especially for food collection. They are also widely used by subsistence and commercial hunters for bushmeat consumption and trade in African forest regions and in Cambodia.
Snares are one of the simplest traps and are very effective. They are cheap to produce and easy to set in large numbers. A snare traps an animal around the neck or the body; a snare consists of a noose made usually by wire or a strong string.
Snares are widely criticised by animal welfare groups for their cruelty. UK users of snares accept that over 40% of animals caught in some environments will be non-target animals, although non-target captures range from 21% to 69% depending on the environment. In the US, non-target catches reported by users of snares in Michigan were 17 +/- 3%.
Snares are regulated in many jurisdictions, but are illegal in other jurisdictions, such as in much of Europe.
