live trap
Catch without killing
A live trap is a device designed to capture an animal without killing or injuring it, allowing for later release or relocation.
Common types include box traps and cage traps that close when triggered by the animal's movement or weight.
Used by wildlife control professionals, researchers, and homeowners dealing with nuisance animals: We caught the raccoon in a live trap and released it in the woods.
