        Despite the prevalent use of animal traps today, particularly adhesive and spring models, the jurisprudential aspects of these traps remain largely unexplored within environmental jurisprudence studies, receiving only partial attention amidst broader discussions. This research employs a descriptive-analytical approach to investigate the thematic dimensions of terrestrial animal traps. Initially, notable legal rulings pertaining to trap usage are highlighted as crucial variables in jurisprudential discourse. Subsequently, the most common types of animal traps are scrutinized from a jurisprudential standpoint. The investigation reveals that while there is no outright prohibition on the use of traps, it is imperative to prioritize less harmful trapping methods when possible, with due consideration given to alternative solutions. In cases involving live traps, swift decisions must be made regarding the release or humane euthanasia of captured animals. This article adopts a comparative research framework, focusing on the examination of jurisprudence surrounding prevalent animal traps. As such, a comprehensive analysis of the legal and principled foundations underlying each effective trap type is beyond the scope of this study. Manuscript profile
