Trappers are individuals who catch animals for their fur, meat, or other resources. They often work in remote areas, using various techniques such as snares, traps, and hunting. Trapping has been a traditional practice for centuries, contributing to local economies and providing materials for clothing and tools.
In many regions, trappers must follow specific regulations to ensure sustainable practices and protect wildlife populations. Organizations like the Fur Institute of Canada promote responsible trapping methods, emphasizing the importance of conservation and animal welfare. Trapping can also play a role in managing animal populations and preventing overpopulation in certain areas.
