I'm praying they rescued that animal and took the picture because it was caught and NOT that they did this to the bird to TAKE the picture. Both kinds of people live on this planet. It makes me sick to know I have to share the earth with the second kind.
I'd guess the trapping of the birds was an unintended consequence. More likely the photo was taken and published to warn people against using that type of trap outdoors.
I agree that ignorance, stupidity, callousness and willful cruelty are too common among humans.
But I find most people will rescue an unintentionally wounded animal and nurse it back to health.
Anyway, I work smart. Not hard. First of all there are plenty of cute men who drink. So I would pick from that pool. That is like shooting fish in a barrel. Just learn how to make good drinks and find one that likes to drink a lot of good drinks.
It's a fly strip...that happens all the time. I've heard of Hummingbirds getting snagged on those things. Sticky traps are cruel no matter what. I used to use them for mice, but I had a momma mouse get stuck and her babies were stuck on one too. One of the babies tried to crawl away and the mother must have tried to save it and chewed it in half. The top half dragged itself off leaving a little trail of blood before dying. It was horrible. I have a picture of it somewhere. Remind to look for it. MS will love that!

I had mice. Someone had them and wanted to kill them, so I took them. BIG MISTAKE. I didn't know a thing about care. I had them in a cage, they multiplied within a week and started eating each other.
I took them to the woods and released them all. Some animals need freedom.
I think we are getting past the third deviation here. I prefer not to encourage that.
For an approximately normal data set, the values within one standard deviation of the mean account for about 68% of the set; while within two standard deviations account for about 95%; and within three standard deviations account for about 99.7%.
