Every year, between 4 and 5 million animals are trapped and killed in the United States for the commercial fur trade. Untargeted millions suffer similar gruesome deaths in traps set for other species. In this timely and crucial investigation, CULL OF THE WILD examines the brutal legacy of America’s trapping industry, revealing political affiliation in the US Senate as one of the main reasons for the wasteful and wanton slaughter. Ultimately, viewers are given reason to hope that change can be accomplished through grassroots activism.
