Trapping

They have been around for centuries and centuries, and have been a pest in my opinion. They make dams and flood highways, roads, and ruin property by cutting trees and flooding other trees and ground. If you havent guessed what this four legged creature is yet that romes the waters around us and destroys trees and roads and even highways its the beaver.

Beavers are everywheres in our society, it is legal to trap them and thats what i do in the fall when the fur harvesting season is open. Beavers are semi-aquatic mammals and they are the largest north American rodent. Mature males usually range from (40 to 60 lbs.) but some will weigh up to 100 or more. They have one littler in may or june and they usually have 4 to 6 pups in a litter.

Trapping in my point of view is ok. I can see how some people think its cruel and inhumane but really it isnt bad as it seems. With traps i have and use the kill is instant and the animal does not suffer, although some traps are different but most trappers do not use them and most of the cruel ones are illegal which is a good thing. I really see nothing wrong with trapping because the beaver population has really high numbers and they only ruin property. Some people are against trapping but those people dont know anything about it and mostly love animals but little do they know they ruin everything and there are alot of them around. I am a trapper and i am not cruel and wouldnt kill animals for no given reason but there are issues with the beavers.

Other animals that are trapped that i see there is no reason to trap other than money which i think is wrong is otters, muskrats, minks, martens, fishers and many more. I dont trap these animals because i see no reason to. People only trap them for money, i wouldnt trap them if i had absolutly no money because they are innocent animals and deserve to live. I dont care to kill coyotes or foxes because they take so many deer. In the winter months they can take the population of deer down drastically; the foxes take so many partridge and birds.

In conclusion trapping over all isnt as bad as everyone says it to be. It isnt cruel and no animals suffer like people say they do. The government is very strict on what goes on in trapping and the wardens are always checking people out and making sure all traps are legal and humane. Only the beavers are the ones i will trap and the coyotes and foxes but i only trap for reasons because i dont kill for no reasons.
