A family in Wyoming lost 3 St. Bernards – all were caught in snare traps. When one of their St. Bernards, Brooklynn, went missing, the family went out in search of her with their other two St. Bernards, Barkley and Jax. Less than a mile away from their home, Barkley was caught in a snare and died almost immediately. While trying to free Barkley, they turned around and saw that Jax also had been caught in a snare. Jax died while the family was trying to cut the wire off of him. When they reported the incident to Wyoming Fish and Game, they were told that the traps were set legally and that there was nothing they could do.
