"Get a feel for fur: Slam your fingers in a car door."
~Anonymous, on the use of steel traps
to capture fur-bearing animals,
cited in Audubon, November 1990
"Each year, more than 4 million animals are trapped and killed for their fur in the United States. Millions more are trapped and killed in the name of “livestock” and “game” protection and for “nuisance” animal control. Whatever the purpose, the consequences for the trapped animals are the same — pain, suffering, and death."
Boy Chip sadly pondering his 4 million furry friends who die in animal traps each year.
Under FUN FACTS on a trapper's website Jasper found this statement: "Fishers (much like a weasel) were nearly extinct in Minnesota by the early 1900s. But the population has grown steadily since then. Since the late 1970s, the population has remained at more than 10,000, enough to support a regulated trapping harvest of about 2,000 each year."Talking to Boy Chip (Jasper's dad) Jasper said, "What bothers me most is the idea that a population of any animal is thought of as something to harvest." Jasper felt like shouting from every rooftop: What's wrong with humans??!! Below is a full report on trapping to help the real activist become informed. The issue below is from Born Free. Please become a fan and supporter of their efforts!
