Comment

The government must give proper scientific documentation, environmental impact assessments, and data to support its claims. Our government also needs to consider extending the public comment period to allow stakeholders time to review this information and provide informed feedback.
Laws around trapping need to prioritize animal welfare. Financial gains for the fur trade should never come at the expense of animal protection, public safety, or ecological health. Beavers are very important species that create wetlands, support biodiversity, and regulate water systems. Our policies should safeguard habitats on Crown and private lands from increased or indiscriminate trapping, especially during the closed season.
Strong reporting and regulatory oversight are essential to ensure that trapping practices comply with required standards.
