with our limited number of trappers anymore i have to believe it may be beneficial for certain species to have large numbers taken.

Thanks guys for straightening out the greed thing for me.

We should have celebrated when Wall Street and the other too-big-to-fail entities were bailed out while middle Americans lost their homes, jobs, healthcare, pensions.... Because that's what built America.

So let's all come together, liquidate our assets and bail NAFA out of this mess. Let's face it. They're too big to fail too. And when they have more of your money, we can all smile and celebrate their overseas buyout, knowing that it was the American thing to do.

Greed is good! grin

Greed is an integral part of what built this country.



If they are making good money, That would be greed. If they are losing money or making peanuts, then I have a different word for that behavior.

I heard from a reliable source that things will be happening next week at NAFA. No indication if it will be good or bad, so we will have to wait and see.

Same with fur farming. If the money is there why not expand the herd.

Your example of Wall Street getting bailed out is a good example of what can go wrong when the markets aren't allowed operate freely.

Larry, it's unfortunate that country buyers lost money and possibly their business but that is the of this business works unless one has a direct market and even then it can be very speculative.

After all isn’t greed a simply equation of ambition and effort guided by knowledge?

The tricky part is balancing the risk to rewards.

It’s all about outcomes.

No

intense and selfish desire for something, especially wealth, power, or food.

Yeah, I was being a bit too snotty and sanctimonious. blush

But greed still sucks. grin

Dear NAFA Wild Fur Consignor,

Our discussions with SAGA to collaborate on a wild fur collection and sale continue, however there appear to be hurdles that may be difficult to overcome. At this point in time, we are not in a position to guarantee a wild fur collection in 2020.

We are disappointed and saddened with the current situation and remain steadfast to find a viable way forward for our loyal and dedicated shippers and buyers. We will keep you informed of further developments and more details on paying outstanding prompt payments from August as they arise.

We are very sorry to all our wild fur shippers for this unimaginable outcome.

Sincerely,


Douglas Lawson
President & CEO
