Default Abandoned Traps

I was reading an article that was talking about this program that is in Lousianna, that cleans up abandoned crab traps. In ten days the group found 1,500 abandoned crab traps! What are people thinking?! It seems most people do not know how to clean up after themselves anymore! You can read the whole article at Nola dot com. Sorry, realized I can not post complete link.

How awful to pollute our water areas with traps in the first place if you're not using them to catch food. The idea of animals getting trapped inside with no hope of getting out isn't good either.

Seriously people are this rude. I would never leave anything behind ever outdoors. I believe in packing up what you take. I think people should be fined when they leave things like traps behind.
