- Title

- Abstract
Our research[3] on regulated trapping of meso-carnivores in Michigan baselines how trappers perceive risks associated with COVID-19. Attitudes toward the state wildlife agency correlated with perceived likelihood of trapping violations; trappers who believed the agency was trustworthy believed illegal trapping was less likely. Failure to incorporate public attitudes and behaviors into COVID-19 decision-making responses involving wild animals could degrade the comprehensiveness of disease surveillance.
