As a licensed trapper, I’m encouraged by the recent proposed regulatory changes. Simplifying reporting periods and officially permitting the sale of beaver castor are both bold, practical moves that acknowledge our role in wildlife management. Read more

There are absolutely no economic benefits for wildlife products anymore. No one wants pelts. And most people would think that beaver butt fluids are disgusting and won’t want it in their food. All beaver trapping is “pest” control. Read more

I support the proposed amendments as necessary and logical to all individuals involved. In some cases, these amendments will legitimize what is often current best practice due to circumstances, i.e. trapping nuisance beavers out of season. Read more

Provide the head Trapper the ability to set quotas based on their years on the set trap line. Sustainability is critical for wildlife health. Over trapping and under trapping provide no solutions. Read more

1. In my opinion, Laws should not cause the unnecessary wasting of legally harvested animals. Any modifications that allow licensed trappers or licensed fur dealers to sell and market raw castoreum or any other "raw parts" to markets would be welcome changes. Read more

I am one hundred percent behind these changes that will support our trappers. It is about time that we start supporting these trappers and the job they do in managing fur bearer populations for the rest of us.

Please do not allow castereom (beaver butt oil) to be traded or sold. Beaver butt oil needs to be banned. Please ban shooting animals in the dark, ban any new killer traps, and ban all hunting and trapping off season. Read more

It is well-documented that the traps used in Canada are inhumane and cause immense suffering for wild animals. These animals’ lives are cruelly taken because their pelts have value in the commercial fur trade. Read more
