The FUR TRADE
The Ontario Fur Harvesters' Presentation

This area's variety of pelts included
beaver, wolf, fox, and wild mink.

They used snares, and later, leg-hold
traps to catch furbearing animals.

Today's traps used by fur harvesters
are not as cruel. They do not make
the animals suffer. So, besides the
value of furs, why kill them at all?

Only a few are taken from any place.
If no animals were harvested, many
would starve to death due to
loss of habitat and overpopulation.
