  • Join John this episode for a hard-hitting and shocking expose of the horrific truths behind how trappers kill Canada’s wolves with neck snares.
    Choking to Death: Killing Canada’s Wolves with Neck Snares
    Take Action: bit.ly/2GtfiKB
    The Canadian wolf trapping industry has long said neck snares are humane killing devices, but the science says otherwise. Why is the neck snare not included under the Agreement on International Humane Trapping Standards that Canada signed onto in 1999? And why have governments ignored scientists’ call for a ban on these killing devices? Professional wildlife photographer and conservation advocate John E. Marriott takes you into the bush onto a Canadian trapline and reveals the startling reality behind neck snares, showing you firsthand how they are not humane or efficient at killing our wild wolves and other canids like coyotes and red foxes.

    As a hobbyist photographer this is absolutely horrible to watch. I live in an area where the biggest predator is a red fox, and is even rarely seen. My dream is to see a wolf in the wild in my lifetime. I can not understand how people can do this, and in such a cruel way. Lately the question is not "when will i get to see one" but "will there be any wild wolves left".
    Thanks for exposing thede horrible practises, John!

    Hi, John 👍🏻👍🏻 I’m so upset and hurt that people would use such inhumane traps to capture and kill wild animals just for their fur, all wildlife should be left alone to be able to live in the Wilderness to be Free ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I am a deer hunter I hunt for food, not to mane or use traps to make the animal suffer such a cruel death. I would love to have those people who set out those snare traps to be caught in one of their own traps but with barbed wire around it and just let them suffer in the woods crying out and suffer a cruel death at their own demise ( Just Saying ) that’s how mad I am at those people who use traps so they can make money off of an animals fur. I think the laws for trapping need to be changed, the Canadian government and wildlife officials should step in and really research their trapping laws of cruel and inhumane traps. John thank you for sharing I hope something is done about this because wildlife should remain to be Free in the Wilderness so people can enjoy a nice hike in the woods and to be able to enjoy watching and photographing Wildlife. I look forward to seeing more of your outdoor adventures, enjoy and have a Great week !!! Danny

    I'm from the UK and I've only seen Wolves at wildlife sanctuaries, but they are far and away my favourite animal. Closely followed by Bears. It must take a special kind of person to be ok with doing this as a "job".
    I reminds me of the documentary "The Medicine of the Wolf". It's absolutely disgusting how these animals are persecuted for nothing more than image and fear. You would think by now that humankind would have found a way to coexist with these beautiful creatures that inhabit this planet with us, but instead humans insist on killing everything.

There's no reason to inflict that much suffering to the animal. The only thing i could say I hope sometime when there setting the snare up that it would end up going off on them and they would feel the pain that the animals feel when it catches them.

    *Those who show no respect in wolves existence or any other wildlife that nature created shouldn't be honored with any respect but dishonored for taking a life that has no threat to our existence but ourselves, they will never understand their purpose for being alive and how important their lives matter to our ecosystem without them we are nothing and they will only know what they need to make a living off of. But you and I we will make this come to end and make a change where our native animals will live on their life's in peace with no human interference. We will only learn from our mistakes. When that day comes they will regret their decisions of making our companions into materials to satisfy their fashion needs. I may not be able to do as much I want to at the moment but that doesn't mean I won't do what ever I can in my power to defend our animals and make a massive change in our world.

    Many days I've head into the beautiful Rocky Mountain woods and wondered how can it possibly be so empty of wildlife. This is so hard to watch but it's reality, gruesome inhumane reality and no reason for tax dollars to fund it except that they know it encourages it even more And makes it look as though those are the numbers when that's got to be a fraction of how many animals are being tortured as hunters say a kill must be dealt with within a day or its a write off and that the ones taken in have their ears cut off rendering it useless as a great mount. Since there are no tags per kill the count is likely many times higher. The fact these kill traps can be set and left and without notification to the areas users at 200 meters from schools should terrify parents.

    This video really made me think hard. read at your own risk, much longer than i originally anticipated.
    I partially both agree and disagree. I definitely think the point you suggested about snares not being quick enough is certainly valid, faster deaths are certainly more humane and snares arent doing the job as well as they should. but where i disagree is the plea for society to not kill for the sake of fashion. I just think its unrealistic to expect as much as id like for that to happen. trapping is another means of income for some of these people. If there was no demand for their work, thats just one less way of making money in places where jobs might be scarce.
    Also the point of the video has me a bit confused. Do you want more humane traps or do you want demand for trapping to stop in general? Because I just dont see anyone being happy if i made a trap that instantly beheaded animals, as "humane" as that may be. I think there are several factors go into considering what is considered a good trap and the value of a snare is just so high that people will overlook how humane it may be. To some people, it doesnt matter. and on a grand scale, its hard to disagree. Of course pain should be avoided in all aspects of life but if the goal is inevitable mass death, pain wont matter if youre gonna be dead either way. It's absolutely horrible but some people are just willing to accept that. the appeal to humanity comes from empathy from us not wanting a painful death but we arent even promised that same courtesy. And if we take that even further, why should any animal die since humans dont want to die? Even in human terms, youre lucky if you have a painless death. to these people, theyd still eat fruit even if fruits started talking and they feel exactly the same way about profiting off of pain. another acceptable loss as long as people pay and prey is plentiful.
    In a way, I appreciate you posting this video because of the snare issue. but if anything you kind of just validated in my mind that this can never go away, even if snares are done for. do you know what a snare is? it can be as simple as a looped wire. Even if they become commercially illegal, its so cheap to make and inevitable that people wont care. To be fair, no trap is perfect if we are talking about subjecting fear and panic, no matter how painless or how frequently a trapper comes and checks. if the problem is a lack of respect, fine. but lets not pretend its respectful to trap any other way either.
    My suggestion to this hiking couple, there is likely nothing you can do about this trap line if it's legal. Find a new spot to hike. Maybe get one of those crazy dog training suits and some bolt cutters if youre feeling bold about releasing wolves from traps but prepare for potential legal consequences if caught as it may be considered destruction of property. Fortunately for you, the same reason why snares are such a good value is why you wont have such bad legal consequences, since all you would be doing is literally cutting a wire and you may just have to cover potential loss of the trap and maybe the full cost of the pelt itself, which to me seems well worth it. And while i cant encourage you breaking the law, I cant blame you if you wanted to *cough cough*
    As both a photographer and an occasional hunter (My conviction is only using a naked recurve bow), I will always have respect for animals whether they are predators or prey species enough to never exchange the experience for money. But there are definitely less fortunate people than me who may depend on it who may not be able to afford to be as considerate. but to be fair, there are definitely people who can afford to be considerate and just arent. Its a huge undertaking to convince people who think they know better lol take it from me. Feeling bad for animals isnt always enough. And as long as its legal, its just that. Penalties for breaking these laws are pretty lax as well. No foreseeable long term solution without a general attitude change among all participating citizens.

    • @john660
      @john660 5 лет назад +3

      Thanks for the comments themi. You may be interested to know that less than 1% of trappers make a living from their traplines, so your one theory that trapping is a source of income for many is likely not valid now. Most trappers actually spend more on their trapline than they make (big diesel truck, diesel, snowmobiles, traps, gas, cabin construction, cost of the fur management area, etc, etc -- when you consider a wolf pelt averages $150 in Canada, it would take thousands of wolves per trapper to pay for it all).

    • @themitheophotography3978
      @themitheophotography3978 5 лет назад +2

      ​@@john660 And that's an extremely valid point. You're right, as a single career, trapping is incredibly destructive and a waste of money. But the predominant method of trapping is to opportunistically trap on your own property,. it's not as wasteful that way. The part about building a cabin and paying for vehicles, most of the time trappers already have those before they know they want to trap. I mean, even I would purchase a cabin eventually just for recreational fun, even if I never decided to trap. I think that's what makes this sort of hard. I definitely think people with trap lines and doing excessive trapping like in your video certainly need to calm down, especially if its as inefficient as you say. But people doing it on their own property is a bit more difficult of a problem to resolve. Thank you for your time in commenting, I very much appreciate it

    I really don't see how one can make the argument that it kills quickly. Once in a while when conditions are optimal maybe but you don't have to be an expert to see that a lot of the time it'll take hours or even days, not much brain power is required for that. I'm not idelogically anti hunting but if they are to be hunted, use a rifle or at least a leg trap.

    Thanks John for everything you do, I genuinely appreciate it. I knew what happened but still watched, as it's important. I've taken the action to try and help and also shared your video on Facebook. You're completely right. I really disagree with hunting in general. If the ecosystem was left to work as it should we wouldn't even need to consider using any kind of trapping. I know your video is about the snares, which are just awful. So, thanks for focus on this. It's small steps but hoping something happens to change this archaic and out of date system.
    I must admit that if I see any, I would be tempted to take them down. The biggest thing that the public can do is stop buying this crap though then they wouldn't hunt. Easy, but unfortunately you still see these fashion items on a daily basis.
    The whole animal management argument for hunting wolves, and anything in that matter, is so fuckin flawed, it's now beyond boring hearing about it. Quoting references to first nations methods is also bollocks too. Just because something worked and was ethical 10000 years ago doesn't mean we should still do it. It just makes me sad and angry at the same time. We can easily live without meat, so, so easily.
    We need to change our ways of the way we abuse nature. Through things like deforestation, treating everything as an infinite resource, thinking humans have the right to everything on the planet etc etc. It's just time we put nature first for once. The human race has had it's fun, it is time to stop fucking around now.
    Sorry for the long comment. This topic just gets me going.

    i'm pretty conflicted here. subscribed to this channel but also 3 channels dedicated to trapping in northern canada. i think enough research has been done to make it apparent that some type of predator management is needed. the cull via rifle/helicopter was denounced, poison is out - so the few remaining trappers in the country are the option.
    i also feel that horrible things happen in nature and if you aren't willing to observe such things maybe stay in the city. if these people witnessed a pack of wolves attacking and eating an elk alive would they be advocating for the elk and railing against the wolf?
    just thinking out loud..
    i love wolves as much as anybody and that footage of the critters in snares is heart-breaking but also a tradition and possibly a necessary one.
    p.s. don't walk your dogs off leash in wolf/snare country.

      Predators dont need to be controlled by humans. They're already being controlled by nature itself. Cub mortality is incredibly high, weather it's from rival packs, other predator species or the harsh environment itself. Nature is a balance and it worked just fine before hunters started getting involved.

    • @nothingstands
      @nothingstands 5 лет назад +1

      i agree, it did. but now you've got hunters taking deer, elk, moose and caribou throwing that balance out of whack. perhaps nature would sort itself out eventually but plenty of research has shown that some type of wildlife management is needed.

    A disgusting way to kill anything. Some "management" may be needed, but not this way and not shooting them from airplanes as they used to do in Alaska and Canada. I visit Canada frequently (from the United States) and, as a nature photographer, I find wolves one of the best wildlife to observe, and finding them is rare. Some people find inhumane killing too easy. Will we never "grow up?" Thanks for your advocacy, John. You do great work!

    • @john660
      @john660 5 лет назад

      That's quite a different story, in those cases I believe predator control teams should do two key things: one, enable the rancher with all of the tools to keep their cattle as safe as possible (guard dogs, range patrol, fladry, etc), as well as remove the offending wolf pack if there is proven predation. The problem now is that ranchers trap on their lands whether they have problems with wolves or not, and this has scientifically been shown to actually increase wolf predation on livestock.

    • @fiselfrazel1064
      @fiselfrazel1064 5 лет назад

      Mr. Skeptical there is research to suggest that killing wolves isn’t very effective. I won’t go into detail but in reality ranchers should try prevent in the first place then just responding after the attack. Also if the wolf keeps attacking livestock over a long period then if you can use a live trap and relocate the wolf then thats better but if you relocate the wolf and it comes back and kills more cattle then just use a gun. A gun kills quick not a neck snare.
