Stop the trapping of beavers - SameerluvAnimals - 10-20-2018 Quote:Did you know that "drowning traps" are currently being used to stop Dam building at the Bell Creek/Haig Road small bridge? https://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/351/132/854/?z00m=30881017&redirectID=2760584638 RE: Stop the trapping of beavers - Catherine - 10-23-2018 Traps like that are terrible. They are especially bad for beaver. Beaver can hold their breath for longer than many animals. So if they are drowning they can delay the process for a long time. They don't just die. They suffer for a long time. These articles are a background to the petition. https://bc.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=579568 https://globalnews.ca/video/3196321/beaver-caught-in-controversial-trap-in-langley https://globalnews.ca/news/3859117/beavers-greenburn-lake/ They have forgotten how important it is to maintain wildlife areas and to maintain some water sources. RE: Stop the trapping of beavers - LPC - 10-23-2018 Signed. Thank you, Sameer for drawing attention to this issue. Thank you, Catherine, for the additional information. RE: Stop the trapping of beavers - Catherine - 10-24-2018 There is something inherently wrong about a Canadian trapping a beaver. They are our national animal and we should respect them as such. The drowning traps are especially heinous. |
