Beavers are keystone species that create wetlands, support biodiversity, and regulate water systems. Policies should safeguard habitats on Crown and private lands from increased or indiscriminate and cruel trapping, especially during the closed season! Demanding that the government provide full scientific documentation, environmental impact assessments, and data to support its claims. And extend the public comment period to allow stakeholders time to review this information and provide informed feedback!
Laws around trapping need to prioritize animal welfare and should be informed by current, peer-reviewed science.
Small financial gains for the fur trade should never come at the expense of animal protection, public safety, or ecological health.
Strong reporting and regulatory oversight are essential to ensure that trapping practices comply with required standards and limit animal suffering!
