Not correct...a snare can be made to tighten more if the animal struggles and if it was a wire snare...it would cut clean to the bone or could. With a puncture type wound it was a trap most likely sharpened jaw stainless steel.

She probably realized she was stuck and laid still. When they let her go she would have tried to run home to safety and just could not make it.

My guess no one did it, but she got caught on something. Barb wire would do it.

I am sooo sorry for you and your dog. I hope you are going to the authorities about this. I am sure they will charge who ever did this and also charge them with tresspassing. Good Luck anyway.

I just know that the vet said it was a snare. The marks on her leg are too deep for her to got out of something on her own, someone had to let her out.

After we got her leg cleaned up

I just know that the vet said it was a snare.

The Vet is guessing also.

It looks too high on the leg to be a snare, and anything that got wrapped around the leg would have caused the same type of wound.

It's just not logical to assume "trap" when it makes no sense for someone to be trapping on your property.

Plus the fact that you didnt FIND a trap, or even a piece of whatever the dog was caught in, so you cant really say for sure it happened on your property. "Invisible " fences are not 100% reliable

It's sad your dog was injured, but there are not enough facts to make ANY conclusions as to what really happened​

Ouch that had to hurt! I'm so sorry this happened. I will pray that she makes it thru her surgery monday without any complications. Its so sad that things like this happen to the innocent ones !

We didnt expect to find a trap, since who ever did it, let her out, so of course they are going to move it.
There has been a big poaching problem in the area for the last few months. Other people have called the cops becouse traps were found on their land.
We had an Invisible fence plus hog panels, no barb wire or anything like that.

You be surprised what dogs can get themselves into, whether it was a trap or not. Since the general consensus is so divided about whether it was a trap, I suggest you cover your rear and report it. Take the pics to your conservations dept, where there are people who are used to seeing the damage caused by a trap/snare. The should be able to help more definatively answer what caused it, and whatever the case if there is even a slight possibility of it being a trap/snare the conserv. Dept need to know anyways.

So sorry about your puppy....make sure you post some recovery pics, too!!!!

We have a conservation officer coming over Monday,he is going to look at the pictures and look to see if he can find a trap or anything that would couse that type of damage.

Yep, to high on the leg, for a trap or snare.

No reason to blame it on trappers.
