One of the most misunderstood actvitiies in sustainable use is trapping - including how trapping has evolved over time to include best management practices to ensure the humane trapping of animals.  Robbie is joined by Jason Wisniewski, the current President of Fur Takers of America, to talk about the science and stories behind trapping in the US. From the myths to what’s happening in the trapping world, to what’s happening in the fur taking trade, and beyond.
