Is it legal to lift the spring off the trapping (snap) portion of the mousetrap and attach the extension bar directly to the spring?
Submitted by webmaster on Wed, 01/23/2013 - 22:13
No, lifting the spring off the snap portion of the mousetrap would be a violation of 3.c.line 2 by modifying the mousetrap so that it would not function as intended and attaching the extension bar directly to the spring would be a violation of 3.c.lines 4-6, which states that items, other than the extension bar attached to the snap portion, may not be added to the mousetrap.
