This law amends General Laws, chapter 131, as previously amended by repealing section 105A thereof and adding thereto three new section, 105B, 105C and 114A. Section 105B provides that whoever uses any trap or other device for capture of fur bearing animals, which is not designed to kill such animal at once or to take it unhurt and which is likely to cause continued suffering to an animal caught therein, shall be fined fifty dollars, but traps or other devices for protection of property, set not more than fifty yards from any building, cultivated plot or enclosures used for rearing poultry or game birds to the use of which the presence of vermin may be detrimental, are excluded from the application of this section. Section 105C provides for the submission to the voters at a municipal election in any city or town upon petition of the question of whether the operation of section 105B shall be suspended or if it has been already suspended, of the question whether it shall again be operative in such city or town. Section 114A provides that the Commissioner of Conservation may suspend the operation section 105B for a period not exceeding thirty days within any specified territory under the control of his department. The law also provides for the submission, by the selectmen to the voters at a special town meeting in the current year, upon petition, of the question as to whether the provisions of section 105B shall be suspended in any town, and which was approved by both branches of the General Court by vote not recorded, be approved?
