Then Leonard and Priscilla Smith encountered longtime animal rights activist Angi Metler, who ended up locking herself inside a bear trap in the front yard of the elderly couple's cottage in Highland Lakes when their discussion about the area's black bears went bad. That meeting that warm late summer day has lead to a series of legal charges being levied by the Smiths against Metler, by the police against Metler, by Metler against Priscilla Smith -- and most recently by the state against Metler. As a result, Metler will end up taking her battle into Vernon's municipal courts. And the Smiths now find themselves reluctantly thrust into a battle involving one of the most heated issues in the state. Priscilla Smith is scheduled to make her first court appearance on Tuesday, and both women are expected to go to trial on Oct. 12.

He should have tranquilized her, put a collar on her the driven her out into the woods and dumped her.
It is really time to move away from New Jersey.
I finally fled the Garden State, moved to PA in June. Best thing I ever did!

Yet another citizen finally comes to appreciate the true nature of envirowhackos.
A must read about least coast envirowhacko ping.
Is this a live trap, or something like that? What's the whacko's problem?
Never mind...I don't really want to know.
Once again we have clear evidence that the "animal rights" business is not about animals but about hatred of people.
It must have been a live trap, so what's this person's darn problem?
Dead from the ears up.

I would say metler may have a problem - does this mean their is some sanity in the govt in NJ?
for the language gestapo:
"does this mean their is some sanity in the govt in NJ?"
should read:
"does this mean THERE is some sanity in the govt in NJ?"
When I trap critters in a live trap, I either shoot them at the base of the skull with bird-shot or suffocate them with auto exhaust. Drowing, of course, is another option, but the reservoir of water available might limit the size of the beast one could handle. Surely there must be a convenient middle ground in dealing with these varmints...
Never a lack of stupid people in the world....
Does the bear poop in the trap? I know it poops in the woods!!! Did she bathe after squeezin into that trap? Why didn't they release that whacko back into the wild so she could crawl back under them rocks and hibernate fur the winter???
"I would say metler may have a problem - does this mean their is some sanity in the govt in NJ?"
I wouldn't be so sanguine.
It probably will wind up before little Debbie Poritz and the other half-baked political loons who sit on Chrissie Wgitman's State Supreme Court. You know - the nutjobs who let the Dems get away with the Torricelli bait and switch, and illegally let McGreevey violate the New Jersey State Constitution by floating bonds to balance the State Budget -
but just this one time!
