Senate Bill 5831 repeals all sections in Initiative Measure 713, a voter initiative that banned trapping in 2000. Damage problems from moles, coyotes and other animals have forced legislators to consider repealing the initiative. Also driving the legislation is the recent public disclosure of the deceptive information campaign used by animal rights groups during the 2000 issue.
