In this episode, Mark and Curtis are joined by Doug Chiasson, Executive Director of the Fur Institute of Canada. Doug provides a summary of the Fur Institute of Canada and its main role and different programs. Doug talks about the Agreement on International Humane Trapping Standards, how modern humane traps work, how traps are scientifically tested and certified, coupling best management practices with trap technology as well as how the Fur Institute works with trappers and trap manufacturers to continually improve traps for commercial trapping as well as wildlife research trapping. Doug also gives an update on the testing and certification of modern power snares and the guys have some fun learning about how far back Doug’s family history in Canada extends.
