humane trap
Merciful animal capture
A humane trap is a device designed to capture animals without killing or seriously injuring them, allowing for later release.
Live traps, cage traps, and box traps are common types.
The term distinguishes these from lethal traps like snap traps or glue boards: We set humane traps to relocate the raccoons.
