Does Canada’s Trapping Industry Need Change? Hundreds of thousands of snares and other inhumane types of traps are set legally across the Canadian wilderness every winter to catch, hold and kill fur-bearing animals like wolves and lynx. Yet science has repeatedly shown that traps like snares are neither efficient nor humane. This campaign, in partnership with The Fur-Bearers, takes aim at this issue and many more within the trapping industry with an exciting, new investigative documentary series, Trapped in the Past: Does Canada’s Trapping Industry Need Change?, which will air in Fall 2022.

Recent data released in March 2021 indicates that Alberta grizzlies are starting to rebound and the Environment Minister has gone on record suggesting that the province might bring back the hunt. This campaign, in conjunction with the Grizzly Bear Foundation, takes aim at this issue with a documentary titled, In the Crosshairs: The Road to Recovery for Alberta’s Threatened Grizzly Bears.
