If you ever have any questions about wildlife,
the best person you could ask is a trapper. He
knows. "what most animals do and. why, and. is -
generally more than ready tb spend some time
'explaining it to you.
A trapper spends a lot of time in the outdoors
and observes the interaction of wildlife on a daily
basis.. He knows when and .where the mink,
muskrat and racoon are moving, and why the
red fox 'follows a certain route. He has to know
these things, because it's his business; but while
he is seeing -and understanding these activities,
he also, .watches the deer, tie chickadees and
even the trout. All the creatures play a part in
the great circle of life iii the outdoors.
Although it is not the common image put forth
by anti -trapping groups, I've found trappers to
be, on the whole, very kind, gentle and un-
derstanding people. A trapper will always stop to
let, a family of ducks cross a road, whereas the
harried executive, late for an appointment, may
not. Many trappers in the north carry birdseed °
and suet along their lines in the winter to help
give the birds a boost and more than one young
animal, caught by rising flood waters in the
spring, has been helped ashore by a man
checking his traps.
When i-o-rr of the--humanity-of the ti aps-
he uses arises, the trapper is always ready to
defend himself. Connibear traps, when they were
invented, were quickiy adopted and recognized
as efficient and humane, but have one
drawback : the connibear is a nonselective trap,,_.
and unless it is set properly, and only in certain
locations, it is very liable to take unwanted
species (including.family pets) with°no chance of
release. ,
The much maligned leg hold trap is a different
ro,ttter, however, Properly set for water
dwelling animals, the quarry is caught and
quickly and humanely drowned with very little
chance of a land animal blundering into the set.
W hen properly set for land animals, unwanted
species can usually be released with no more
injury than a bruised paw. Of course, the traps
must be set properly, and every trapper I -know,
is constantly trying to improve his methods. To
me, this is much more humane than the little
suburban wife who drives into the countryside to
drop off that unwanted dog or cat, consigning it
to a slow death by starvation.
Theories of animals chewing their legs off to
escape are generally more myth than fact: n
Beaver, muskrat and sometimes mink are
resp-onsible for these stories, and are usually a
(result of poorly set traps. These animals sh, Id
always be trapped, either with the con.nibe, r, or
leg hold traps in a drowning- set. T -y are
notorious for twisting and fighting the t ay when
caught on dry land, and, given enougr time, will
escape by' breaking leg bones and eating_ skin
and muscle tissue. Even though their leg is numb
from the pressure of the trap, they, will bite at the
"thing" that is holding them and hence, the .
"chew their leg off" theory. With a properly set
trap on a drowning wire, this rarely, if ever
happens.,
' Foxes and other land animals, when caught in
a well set leg hold trap, struggle briefly and then
lie down to wait. They -are very rarely injured by
the. trap. This has been proven time and time
again, but the most dramatic, example was -
performed by the Ministry.of Natural Resources.
In a study being dobe on foxes, over 100 were live ,
trapped .and fitted with ,electronic collars, so
their movements could be monitored. It was
- - qupckly•realized that the leg hold trap was the
only, way they, could capture enough foxes to
make the study meaningful. Out of the more than
100 foxes captured this way, only four or five
were injured severely enough to warrant their
destruction, Animals will often injure 'them-
selves more severely and with more frequency in
the so called-" live''. -11i traps in their effort
to escape.
The next time you admire someone's fur coat,
or look longingly at a luxurious Collar, and think
-the animal must have died a cruel and painful
death, Took up someone who traps, and have a
little chat with- him. Chances' are you'll come
away completely won over and on.,his side.
