The Louisiana law provides that "foxes used in the sport 

 of fox hunting" are protected. Therefore, it is up to the 

 trapper to first ascertain whether or not the fox that is un- 

 fortunate enough to put his foot in the trap is used for that 

 purpose or not. As this animal is unquestionably a depre- 

 dator, it would seem wise to continue it, along with the 

 wolf, bob-cat, and cougar, in the "outlaw" class and not 

 give it the protection fox hunters desire.
