The government must provide…

The government must provide full scientific documentation, environmental impact assessments, and data to support its claims. Not doing so is fundamentally incorrect and in direct violation of our Canadian way of life.

The government should also 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 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. The government continually chooses to punish natural habitats and animals in the name of so-called progress that never actually supports Canadian people (or wildlife).

Beavers in particular, 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 trapping, especially during the closed season.

Strong reporting and regulatory oversight are essential to ensure that trapping practices comply with required standards.

All living creatures and nature are integral to our survival as Canadians. Being blind to this fact is a sign of simple thinking. Please take literal science into consideration.
