THE FACTS

		There are more fur bearing animals in Ontario now that when the
		white man first came. This is the result of the joint efforts of the Ministry of Natural Resoures and the Ontario Trappers' Association in developing a true conservation program over the past 50 years.
		There are no endangered species among Ontario's fur bearing
		animals.
		The Trappers of Ontario lead all North America in Humane Trapping
		The Greatest Danger today is under harvesting and new laws bases
		on emotion rather that biological evidence.
