Anti-Trapping Legislation Advances in Maryland

Feb. 2, 2010 – In early December, State Delegates from Montgomery County, backed by several animal activist organizations, announced plans

\"\"

to introduce legislation in the 2010 Maryland General Assembly to ban the so-called \”leghold\” and body-gripping traps in Montgomery County. The Delegation will soon vote to advance its bill, MC 16-10 to the full General Assembly.

The Maryland Fur Trappers, Inc. (MFTI), the umbrella organization for the state’s practitioners of fur trapping and animal control, is seeking support in opposing the legislative threat to their livelihoods and to public safety. MFTI’s message is that if the legislation is passed in one jurisdiction, others could follow the precedent. If trapping were to be restricted, it could pave the way to increased animal/human conflicts, danger to livestock and affect the cultural diversity that is the cornerstone of Maryland’s foundation. MFTI wants the public to know that the positive role of trapping is beneficial to the environment and to the sustainability of many species of wildlife.

MFTI President, Ron Leggett, said, \”It’s easy for opponents of fur trapping to advance an emotional plea against the practice. The benefits of fur trapping are misunderstood by many in the modern age. Most Marylanders are unaware of the protections afforded to them by trappers and wildlife control agents.\” Leggett also stated, \”Detractors refuse to consider the facts about trapping and its methods and wage unrelenting campaigns using \”compassionate\” messages, with no real proof to back up their claims, to garner support from the uninformed majority of urbanized citizens.\”

ü QUICK FACT: Nearly 8000 Individual Furbearer Permits and 300 Wildlife Damage Control Operator Permits are issued in Maryland annually.

Edison, NJ – Bounce to the Arena is an opportunity for anyone ages 6-16 to celebrate the Citizens Bank MAAC Women’s Basketball Championship on Sunday, March 7, 2010. Starting at Albany City Hall, participants will create a parade by dribbling their basketballs through downtown Albany to arrive at the Times Union Center for the Women’s Championship game at noon. The game will be aired live on MSG.

The Bounce to the Arena is modeled after the 2009 NCAA Women’s Final Four March to the Arch, which turned out to be a huge success drawing over 3,000 participants in St. Louis last year. The MAAC, in cooperation with the Albany Police Athletic League (PAL), is working to encourage community support and participation for the Bounce.

Participants will receive admission into the Women’s Championship game, and a basketball compliments of the MAAC and Anaconda Sports. Parents, coaches, and guardians are asked to accompany their children/teams before and during the Bounce, and upon arrival to the arena. Tickets will be available at the Times Union Center Box Office so that guardians can sit with their children and/or teams for the game. Eligible youth are encouraged to pre-register by filling out and sending the registration form along with a check to the address listed on the form. Registration is also available that morning at City Hall.

Come experience everything Albany and MAAC Basketball have to offer by Bouncing to the Arena!
