Useful information, certainly. But only in desperate circumstances. If you have a genuine need, okay, but have no doubt that there is a degree of cruelty involved.

I'm pretty sure that this is highly illegal (and more broadly, grossly unethical) in a great many jurisdictions. I think it extremely unlikely that responsible trappers would use this sort of technique, at least for commercial harvest.

/okay, end rant

I would like more information about this quote from the article:

"Use the lightest snare lock possible, such as the Gregerson breakaway lock, to capture the desired animal. If deer, elk, and antelope are captured by a leg, they usually can break a light lock but may be held by heavy home-made washer locks."

Snare locks??? Wassup with that? Enlighten me, will ya?
