There was a front page story last year in the San Francisco Chronicle about a female humpback whale that had become entangled in a spider web of crab traps and lines. She was weighted down by hundreds of pounds of traps that caused her to struggle to stay afloat.

Once again bear-hunting practices will come under review, with a
public hearing on Tuesday at the Augusta Civic Center regarding a bill
to end bear trapping in Maine. Many at that hearing will speak of the
agony of this intelligent animal frightened by its inability to escape,
vainly struggling in a barbaric device that only Maine allows.
The Sportsman's Alliance of Maine (SAM) and the Maine Trappers
Association (MTA) will again lead the opposition to this bill, and
herein lies the real issue. Those two organizations form as
conservative and inflexible a hunting lobby as there is in this
country, as exemplified by the fact that every state has outlawed bear
trapping but one -- Maine. I suggest Maine sportsmen take a look at the
politics of these extreme positions.
