foot trap
Ankle-seizing device
A foot trap is a device designed to catch an animal by the foot, typically with spring-loaded jaws that snap shut when triggered.
Historically used for trapping fur-bearing animals, foot traps remain controversial for the injuries they inflict.
The coyote gnawed its own leg to escape the foot trap.
