A humane animal trap which features an adjustment capability that permits a certain degree of selection of the type of animal which the trap will hold. In a preferred embodiment, the trap includes a snare in the form of a loop. When the trap is triggered, the loop is withdrawn into a housing. The final size of the loop, and hence the degree of pressure exerted by the loop, as well as the size of animal which may be trapped by the loop, may be adjusted by adjusting the degree to which the loop is withdrawn into the housing. The two ends of the snare which form the loop are preferably secured to a spring-loaded piston, whose final resting point in the generally tubular housing, after being sprung, may be adjusted by, for example, a pin secured transversely within the tubular housing in the path of travel of the piston.
