It sure improves the quality of the fur going out now," said Riddell. Riddell said that trappers rarely . use leg hold traps anymore. "Now we use the quick kill traps," he said. death is sudden and more humane These traps catch the animal by the back and the neck and causes death in about 10 to 15 seconds said Riddell. "The traps are much more> humane than before," he added. Riddell said the definition of a humane trap is one that causes death or irreversible unconscious- ness in three minutes or less. He said there is constant testing Page 5, News, Wednesday, December 7 , 1988 Advances in trapping increase humanity Current leg hold traps are simi- lar to the ones with teeth. Instead of teeth though, there is just a flat piece of steel which is covered with rubber. Garneau has demonstrated this trap in the past, using his arm. "Last year I demonstrated it all day long and only had a small bruise at the end of the day," said Garneau. These new traps are called soft hold traps. Riddell gave an excel- lent example of their benefits. He explained that one day he was checking his traps and found a large Husky caught in one of them. He contacted the owner of the dog who came to release him, and the dog's paw wasn't even bruised. So, although it's an old occupa- tion, there are new advances being made to make it more humane and profitable.
