  • Title: Assessment of rotating-jaw traps to humanely kill raccoons (Procyon lotor).
    Author: Proulx G, Drescher RK.
    Journal: J Wildl Dis; 1994 Jul; 30(3):335-9. PubMed ID: 7933274.
    Abstract:
    Rotating-jaw traps (Conibear 280 and Sauvageau 2001-8, and mechanically improved models) failed to render irreversibly unconscious in < or = 3 min raccoons (Procyon lotor) immobilized with ketamine hydrochloride and struck in the head-neck region. It is unlikely that these traps, and the less powerful Conibear 220, have the potential to humanely kill raccoons.
