The days of trapping and using animals as commodities are coming to an end. The use of snares is barbaric and unnecessary.
It's 2024, we are so done with this cruelty.
Laws around trapping need to prioritize animal welfare and should be informed by current, peer-reviewed science, not guidelines created by the commercial fur industry.
Killing and restraining snares should not be used to trap wildlife in Ontario as research has shown that they result in negative animal welfare outcomes for both target and non-target animals. Snares are not certified traps under the Agreement on International Humane Trapping Standards and should be prohibited in the province.
Many countries around the world have banned snares entirely and it’s time for the province to end the use of these devices in Ontario as well.
Farmers should be encouraged to use non-lethal, predator friendly farming methods instead of trapping wildlife.
