Comment
The proposal to reduce regulatory and administrative burden for licenced trappers and fur dealers is ill-advised. Strong reporting and regulatory oversight are essential to ensure that trapping practices comply with required standards. Small financial gains should never come at the expense of animal protection, public safety or ecological health.
Beavers are important for the creation of wetlands, the support of biodiversity, and the regulation of water systems. Policies should safeguard habitats on Crown and private lands from increased or indiscriminate trapping, especially during the closed season.
