“North America is blessed with an abundance of natural resources including many species of wildlife. Over 65,000 people are involved in the Canadian fur trade, including some 60,000 Canadian First Nations and non-native trappers. These people and their families rely on animals for both food and income. Above all, they respect nature and want the animals to be there for their children, their grandchildren and for many more generations to come.

Trapping is highly regulated in North America to ensure long-term conservation of furbearer populations, and trappers also use methods that meet the highest animal welfare standards in the world. The Canadian Trap Certification Protocol uses parameters of trap efficiency, humaneness and safety to approve traps for use in Canadian trapping and furbearer management programs. Since the early 1900s, scientific research and government regulations have ensured that trapping (for fur, habitat protection or other purposes) is carefully controlled. Trappers take only part of the surplus that nature produces each year. Endangered species are never used. The fur trade is, in fact, an excellent example of the sustainable use of renewable resources, a principle promoted by conservation groups around the world. The continued abundance of North American furbearers shows the care and commitment of trappers, conservation groups and government wildlife agencies.”
