An animal trap having a wire frame enclosed by a hood to provide an entrance opening. The wire frame provides a striker jaw and a fixed jaw disposed on opposite sides of the entrance opening when the trap is set and baited. Means are provided for suspending the trap a suitable distance above the surface of the ground so that an animal standing upright beneath the trap can reach the bait only by entering its head into the entrance. The bait is attached by a trigger assembly mounted within the frame above the entrance opening and, when the bait is touched, the trigger assembly is actuated to release one spring-powered striker jaw whereby to break the animal's neck against the fixed jaw thus killing quickly and humanely. |
