I vote NO to this as it negates all the hard work we have done to get the laws to this point . We have to have regulations in order to protect our wild life and it's resources. Please do not go back in time on this issue. Thank you for taking the time to read this,.

I do not agree with the expansion of trapping and the reduction of regulatory and administrative burdens for trappers without proper research and data to support it.

Beavers are a keystone species that provide healthy wetland environments.
There should be no change in regulations. Population numbers should be carefully tracked for impacts.
Crown lands and private lands are important for healthy wildlife, which is under increasing threat.

I don't support the following proposed changes: the sale of raw beaver castoreum; reduced reporting requirements for licensed fur dealers; permitting trappers to use pistols after dark; other expanded killing methods; or permit trapping of beavers on Crown land during the closed season.

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.

The Province of Ontario is, regardless of intent, encouraging the business of trapping. It would seem that this practice is one that is not any longer compatible with society's view of the killing of wild animals.

We must reject policies that normalize cruelty and strip protections from vulnerable species. Strong, transparent oversight is essential—but the real solution is to end the fur trade altogether. It’s time to go fur-free, for the sake of animals, ecosystems, and our collective conscience.

This is no time to introduce increased lawlessness around nature.
Laws around trapping need to prioritize animal welfare and should be informed by current, peer-reviewed science.

The government must provide full scientific documentation, environmental impact assessments, and data to support its claims. It should also consider extending the public comment period to allow stakeholders time to review this information and provide informed feedback.

Recently Ontario has been going backwards on protecting wild life and giving into demands from a minority group. I appreciate as a member of the public and Ontario citizen this forum to provide comment.

I disagree with all of these changes. Beavers are a keystone species that create wetlands, support biodiversity, and regulate water systems.
Policies should safeguard beavers' habitat on crown and private lands from increased and indiscriminate trapping, especially during the closed season.

Terms like "humane" and "certified" often suggest that trapping wildlife is a painless process. However, these traps – including leg-hold traps, which are still in use – cause significant suffering.

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.
