fur trapping
Fur trapping is the process of capturing wild animals for their pelts, which are used to make clothing and accessories. Trappers set specialized traps or use firearms to catch animals such as beavers, foxes, or rabbits. The goal is to harvest fur sustainably, often involving regulations to ensure populations remain healthy. Historically, fur trapping played a significant role in commerce and exploration, but today it emphasizes ethical practices and conservation efforts. It requires skill in tracking, trapping, and understanding animal behaviors to minimize suffering and support wildlife management.
