Cull of the Wild
Documentaries • 28m
Every year, millions of animals are trapped and killed in the United States for the fur trade and by Wildlife Services, a notorious arm of the US government that is a continuous, taxpayer-funded, wildlife killing spree at the behest of the livestock industry. Millions more are accidentally caught in traps set for other species. Learn about this outrageous and barbaric practice so you can help end it!
Cull of the Wild examines the legacy of the trapping industry in America today through the point of view of the trapper and his victim. It has become an invaluable tool to grassroots activist organizations and has been distributed to members of Congress to bring legal reform.
CULL OF THE WILD provides heart-provoking information to a world that must act now. Animals and the future are relying upon our passion, compassion, and commitment to end this senseless, destructive history.

An excellent documentary that exposes the realities of hunting and trapping animals for fur, “wildlife management,” and “nuisance control.” Including interviews with trappers, supportive legislators, and wildlife biologists, the video is a wonderful educational tool.

CULL OF THE WILD is a strongly recommended video addition to school and community library Wildlife reference collections and ‘must’ viewing for animal rights activists and governmental policy makers.

You would be hard-pressed to find a more convincing case against animal trapping than CULL OF THE WILD. This video thoughtfully explores the problems behind the trapping industry and allows real-life footage to fill in when words cannot adequately describe the suffering that trapping causes.
— National Association for Humane and Environmental Education
An excellent resource for teens interested in learning more about the cruelty of the trapping industry. It’s perfect for high-school classroom presentations: persuasive and thought-provoking narrative and gripping visuals.
