Convincing Provo it is illegal to set a mouse trap without a hunting license.

Dear Mr. Mayor,
It has recently come to my attention that in California it is illegal to set a mouse trap without a hunting license. Currently if one lives in Provo they can set a mouse trap without any kind of license. I believe that Provo absolutely must follow the example of California and implement a similar law. Hunting licenses are issued so that the population of animals can be kept under control, without said populations becoming extinct. If Provo does not implement a law prohibiting citizens from setting mouse traps in order to slaughter innocent mice, the mouse population in Provo will diminish, and may very well disappear entirely. This would have a detrimental effect on the ecosystem of Provo, affecting not only the other animals, but eventually people in Provo as well. Mice are an essential part of our ecosystem for many reasons. First of all the mice can provide an essential part of trash management by eating waste products so commonly disposed by the population of Provo. Also mice provide an essential source of food for other animals found in our beloved city. Also, mouse traps can be very dangerous to those who set them, and also to those who may stumble across the traps unawares; therefore, if one wishes to set a mouse trap they should be properly certified, and have a license to prove their certification.
