Senate Plan Protects Coon Dogs and Children from Traps
The Iowa senate approved a bill 41 to 3 to restrict eight inch jaw traps on land and allow them only under water to protect coon dogs and children. Lawmakers cited incidents where traps injure dogs and pets while opponents argued the measure goes too far. A separate Cedar Rapids federal suit seeks 436693.13 in damages from Chicago and North Western over a 1975 car train collision near Westgate.
