A recently published, easy-to-read booklet containing many useful items of information will be of interest to those wishing to know more about the trapping issue. Despite the number of animals trapped for their fur being on the decrease for several years, it is a topic that is currently being hotly debated internationally. Trapping Animals for Fur comes at a time when the International Standards Organisation (ISO) is developing a standard on Animal (Mammal) Traps. This move by the ISO was prompted by pro-trapping interests aiming to circumvent European Community legislation which in 1995 will ban the import of furs from countries which have not effectively prohibited the leghold (gin) trap, or where trapping methods used do not meet internationally agreed humane trapping standards.
