Abstract
A device attachable to at least one of the co-acting jaws of a steel jawed trap for capturing an animal. The device has at least one cushion assembly that includes an elongated carrier frame attachable to at least one jaw of the trap, and spaced apart cushion members secured to the carrier frame. The cushion members project outwardly from the carrier frame and are in a parallel alignment to one another to engage a limb of the animal and cushion and distribute the force of the jaws of the trap to reduce animal injuries.
