Dangerous booby traps found on popular Utah trail

4. Utah wants to confiscate national park land. This would discourage people from using it as intended.

I don't believe this was set up for poaching. This may be 'lone gunman' territory and then again it may not. In other states privatization vultures have defunded the maintenance and security at parks so that it's not safe to visit them. This park doesn't look safe now.

Eventually they close them and they are sold off to the same entities, corporations, so-called non-profits, etc. and used as the 1% wants. Golf courses, country clubs, expensive homes. They often make a case for saving the environment or reducing state deficits or public safety. A good deal of parkland in many states have been surrendered to private interests and the public is then locked out. Theft of the commons.

The people that set these traps were breaking the game laws if they were poaching; they may have been hunting human prey; or they might be just that callous and stupid to think they will be allowed to indulge themselves in either sport on public land. We don't know and they're being let off easy.
