Did you leave it there, or did you refill it under junk mail.

Look at all the cute and cuddly pics they took off the net for that poster. Is that a Grizz I see too lol. Might as well add a bear on the poster of trapped animals, cause we all know Grizzly fur is the best.

Looks like it might be a child’s poster or something. Good on you for leaving it! Gotta support a right to an opinion even if you don’t agree.

That was my thought.
It's either from a child, or a handicapped person.
No sense messing with it.

Got couple people like that around me. They are more ignorant than anything as when the critter starts causing problems they want it removed but not killed. Funny how they don’t grasp the concept that relocating a critter right be fore winter is just as likely to kill it as lethally trapping. The only difference is a trap will do it fast and the other results in another animal killing it or starvation. You tell me which is more humane??

I used to volunteer to go into elementary classrooms and give talks on trapping and its importance in our history and presently. The grade 4's and 5's study the fur trade in class so it was easy to get involved. When I gave talks every young student was spell bound and very much interested and understanding of trapping in our culture. Not one student ever challenged the concepts of trapping I shared. And I have dozens of great letters from those students to prove it.

I know we need to get back into the classrooms and educate the young. It would make a difference in perceptions. So any trappers with knowledge and some time please consider approaching some elementary schools to maybe offer some talks. Our children need to know the realities and not propagandas.
