Family’s border collie strangled to death in trap near yard

“In a pristine suburb of Portland, OR, a family’s border collie named Maggie was killed by a deadly trap set in a community common area just 45 feet from their back yard. This is an area where kids play. This trap could have easily injured or killed a child.
No compliant warning signs were posted, nor were instructions for removing the trap or whom to call for help.
