Even with relaxing cable restraints, a snare still injures an animal. Having something caught around their neck is terrifying and can lead to capture myopathy. The relaxing cable restraints do not prevent twisted ankles, they can still injure, animals can starve in the traps, etc. Read more

An easier to open snare is not humane, just less inhumane than strangle snares. The animal will still bite people and themselves trying to get out, and the snare will still likely choke and injure them. Read more

From a trappers perspective it doesn't matter, so if it helps in releasing a non-target species then it should become more than just a best practice.

Neck snares are barbaric and archaic - they should be banned. They are cruel - animals often suffer for hours before dying. They are banned in other countries and they should be here as well

The RCR's are a great tool in harvesting coyotes. These regulatory changes are needed to make them more effective and less chance of coyotes getting out and carrying on with cable around their neck. Read more

There are no such things as humane snares. The “evidence” for humaneness has come from laboratory animal testing by a fur industry lobby group. Please instead ban snares and teach people to peacefully coexist with coyotes. Scotland and PEI are in the process of banning snares.

I am one of many Canadians against trapping and while this proposal is a miniscule change for the better, it does not go nearly far enough. Read more

I have a few issues with this proposed amendment: The province needs to publish the research findings it references on the ERO page so that the public can make informed comments on this consultation. Read more

No snares period. The fur trade is dying and has become non essential. Practices like this are not out of need like are indigenous communities but have become more of a hobby for those participating. Read more

We have to coexist with wildlife. Because we changed the nature for our interests without respecting the simple fact that there are other beings besides humans on this planet. We are the problem, not the animals. Read more

25 year wildlife rehabber and advocate. Traps are not needed in modern times and cause a tremendous amount of suffering. All too often the intended target is not caught. I’ve seen rare raptors even caught in these horrific devices. Read more
