Can Oregon go trap free? Artist & wildlife lover Irene Hardwicke Olivieri & trap victim Jennifer Kirkpatrick think so.

In today’s show, we talk with Irene Hardwicke Olivieri of TrapFree Oregon. Irene tells us about an experience involving a coyote that prompted her to get passionately involved in efforts to ban trapping in Oregon.

Later in the show, you’ll hear Central Oregon resident Jennifer Kirkpatrick talk about the nine months of excruciating pain she endured after getting her arm caught in a wildlife trap, and how this ordeal prompted her to become an advocate for banning the use of traps in Oregon.

And, as always, we highlight and analyze News from the Vegan Frontier, let you know about vegan related happenings in and around Central Oregon, and more!

Think trapping doesn’t hurt animals? Central Oregon resident Jennifer Kirkpatrick begs to differ with you. Jennifer tells the harrowing story of getting her arm stuck in a trap meant for a beaver, how she had to hike out with the trap on her arm and then drive herself to get help, and the nine months of excruciating pain that followed. We learn how the experience profoundly affected her, as she was thankful that it was her arm in the trap, not the limb or head of a helpless wild or domestic animal (like her own dogs). At least she was able to drive away to get help! Jennifer has since become a vocal advocate for banning all types of trapping.
