Paul get's the reply of the day...

Paul:
I have to agree, one on one. But have a conversation with a group of 20 or more and see how you make out.
Education and the truth is the answer. Also take the big money/wages out of the organization and see how different thing would be. JMO.

Hey- speaking of Tomahawks - here's a good way to help 'em design a trap the way you, the customer, wants it.
Send your suggestions to generalorganizer@nwcoa.com. It's truly a win-win sityation for WCO's.

Ok thanks I'll send that right over for the win win

Wow, who would have thought that Pesky would be the first to reply? Good work!

I live right down the road in Woodruff, been to the shop in Harshaw several times buying supplies for my ADC business. Always pleasant people, and good gear. I was planning on a business expansion this coming spring into a much larger scale as things are starting to take off for me business wise. Sadly Tomahawk trap company will no longer be getting my business. Partnering with HSUS is good business sense, but it is also a slap in the face of the very people that have supported the company for years.

Wouldn't you want a strong vibrant supplier?

Besides, this thread really is not meeting the spirit of of the TMAN mission. It makes this bunch look to be similar to your HSUS buddies. Just keep fighting among yourselves.

AHHHHHH I see...the moment some one speaks the truth about the matter that tomahawk is holding hands with HSUS the post is attempted to be removed..............As I see it. I bought traps and supplies from them to help me do my job. to make my living I supported them. Now come to find out at the same time, they were supporting the biggest anti group in the world. They in fact have been supporting the very people who are working daily doing everything in their power to put me out of business and in the food stamp line. I take that as a slap in the face, a showing of complete disrespect and disregaurd to the very people who have made the company what it is today through our support. now they have stabbed us in the back. Frankly they will not see a single cent more of my money to support their company, and I will be spreading the word far and wide to everyone I know that tomahawk Live trap company is directly attempting to put them out of business by supporting the HSUS

The moment someone speaks the truth? This thread has been alive for awhile. I just think ya'll are fools for trying to damage a supplier.

I know that links are not permitted by this site....so google this search term:

Aversive Conditioning Products Many commercial products teach wild animals not to come back, helping you humanely resolve conflicts

While you are at it...google this phrase too:
If you live in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area and have a problem with wildlife, we can solve it—humanely and effectively

This is cool stuff! Really....

Do you all make donations of traps to trapping organizations like you donated to the humane society international for the research they held on abaco island in 2001?

I've got to admit that last post has me confused. I've never heard of that particular research and I don't know of anyone who has

donated any of their traps to anyone. A kidney maybe, but traps, never.

Paul, I am the exception, I donated a 6 x 6 AES live trap, to the Maine Bear Hunters Assn. auction. When I get my s... together this Winter, I plan to try to donate, at least one trap, to any cause I deem worthy. Maybe this doesn't fit this thread. IDC.
As a business owner, I support Tomahawk, I may not have made the same decision but if you have a product, you need to sell it.

I googled tomahawk live trap HSUS, because I didn't think it would be true, but on the first page of the google search a Humane Society International PDF file was listed on a summary of a research study on abaco island in 2001 and tomahawk live trap donated 4 large animal traps to aid research in this study.

Sure. Good proof that the organization approves of the equipment you use. Sounds like a win.

Good point does tomahawk only give to HSUS ?

Or wait a min look back thru the post tomahawk said they don't donate to HSUS but google is saying different
