Trapping is a method used to capture animals for various purposes, such as wildlife management, research, or fur harvesting. It involves setting devices, known as traps, in areas where animals are likely to pass. These traps can be designed to catch animals alive or to kill them quickly. Trapping is regulated by laws to ensure humane practices and to protect wildlife populations. Different types of traps include snares, box traps, and leg-hold traps, each suited for specific species. Trappers often use bait to attract animals and must check traps regularly to minimize suffering.
