"Roxy's Law." passes in New Mexico. The Wildlife Protection and Public Safety Act
“Roxy’s Law.” the New Mexico Wildlife Protection and Public Safety Act to prohibit traps, snares and poisons on public land passed in New Mexico Senate.
Roxy, was the companion of Dave Clark. Mr. Clark and Roxy were finishing their hike and returning to his vehicle when he heard Roxy, behind him, make a strange sound. When he turned to see why, he saw that she was struggling in a neck snare trap. Mr. Clark was unable to loosen the snare before Roxy strangled to death in the trap. Mr. Clark says that as he carried Roxy’s lifeless body back to his vehicle, he was startled by a bobcat, caught in a leg-hold trap, lashing out at him as he walked by. Representative Matthew McQueen was a co-sponsor. Once again Rep McQueen comes through for wildlife.
Representative Matthew McQueen of New Mexico
