lpv:translated text	". We could not but be in agreement with an EU text that proposes the establishment of standards for the humane trapping of animals in order to promote animal welfare and the protection of certain animal species. Nonetheless, the Commission’s proposal presented to us is too unsatisfactory for us to be able to adopt it. How can we accept carrying out tests to create so-called ‘humane’ traps on animals themselves? Is that not a paradox, to kill animals in order to ‘humanely’ kill other animals? Furthermore, we are told that the welfare of trapped animals should be improved. Is that the case with jawed traps that crush under water? This trap does not succeed in eliminating suffering: mink take on average two and a half minutes before they lose consciousness and beavers nine and a half minutes. Trapping is held in total abhorrence nowadays and the Commission’s directive does nothing to eliminate it or even to limit it. This is an example of the same business-minded approach that is always applied. Let us remember that 15% of animals killed for their fur have been trapped and that this figure relates only to commercial furs…"@en1
