what is a trapper

A trapper is a person who catches wild animals, usually to sell their fur. Trapping can be used for a variety of purposes, including food, the fur trade, hunting, pest control, and wildlife management. Trappers can employ a variety of devices and strategies to avoid unwanted catches, and ideally, if a non-target animal (such as a domestic cat or dog) is caught in a non-lethal trap, it can be released unharmed. In mining, a trapper is a worker who opens and shuts a door in a gallery or level of a mine, to manage ventilation and access. In slang, a trapper can refer to a drug dealer or a performer of trap music. However, it is important to note that these slang definitions are not the primary meaning of the word.
