To Whom It Concerns:

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.

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 trapping, especially during the closed season.

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

Thank you.
