The Agreement on International Humane Trapping Standards (AIHTS) is a binding agreement that governs the use of trapping devices in Canada. The standards set out in the Agreement to improve animal welfare can be effective only if they are implemented by trappers. In this paper, we review the implementation of AIHTS trapping standards in Canada. We...

In this paper, we set out the prerequisites for the development of killing and restraining trap systems to capture mammals for research, wildlife management and conservation, fur trapping, animal control, and any other activity involving the trapping of a mammal in a mechanical trapping device. We selected them with the main intent of developing ne...

In this paper, we propose standards for killing trap systems based on Proulx et al.'s (2022) prerequisites, which provide context and explanations for our approach. Our aim is to identify assessment protocols that are based on the scientific method, and that include evaluation parameters and threshold levels of acceptation, and laboratory and field...

In this paper, we propose standards for restraining trap systems based on Proulx et al.'s (2022a) prerequisites, which provide context and explanations for our approach. Our aim is to identify assessment protocols that are based on the scientific method, and that include evaluation parameters and threshold levels of acceptation, and laboratory and...

These are the abstracts of presentations at the International Humane Trapping Symposium held in Edmonton, Alberta, in 1997. This symposium led to the publication of Mammal Trapping by Alpha Wildlife Publications.

This is a review of various techniques (mechanical, chemical, etc.) used to control Richardson's ground squirrels.
