live-trapping
Snare without killing
Live-trapping is capturing an animal in a trap designed not to kill it.
Wildlife researchers use live-trapping to study, tag, or relocate animals: Live-trapping allows us to monitor the bear population without harming them.
The method contrasts with lethal traps and is favored for humane pest removal or conservation work.
