Fur traps are devices used to capture animals for their fur, which is often used in clothing and accessories. These traps can vary in design, including leg-hold traps, conibear traps, and snares, each serving a specific purpose based on the target animal. Commonly trapped animals include beavers, minks, and foxes. The use of fur traps is regulated in many regions to ensure humane practices and sustainability. Trappers must often follow local laws regarding trapping seasons and methods to protect wildlife populations. Proper education and training are essential for responsible trapping to minimize harm to non-target species.
