A dog in VT was just killed in a trap last month, so it certainly does happen :( https://www.wcax.com/2022/12/26/vermont-woman-warning-others-after-her-dog-was-killed-trap/?outputType=amp

That was an illegal set.

Nothing mentions that they were walking the dog on their own land either, just that it was private and a place she has walked the dog before. So even if it wasn’t an illegal trap, if she was walking her dog on someone else land without a leash, then that is a risk outside of the trappers ability to control. Pets under proper supervision do not become victims of hunters.

You’re right. Theres a huge issue with people letting their dogs have free reign of property that doesn’t belong to them. Its unfortunate.
