I think what made WS vulnerable in this court case is the use of poison. I really don't see the equivalence between poisoning an animal and trapping; other than either method can kill them.
I think that the day that trappers and exterminators are considered the same thing, then our days are over.

We have no chance of ever getting fur trapping back if there is someone (the Feds) who can step in and manage predators at the taxpayers expense.
This move by a judge just makes the job that fur trappers do for free more valuable.

Double Ditto on this!

THANK YOU

Now if we can see our way to understanding that nuisance trapping ain't fur trapping.

But wit all the big national PCOs buying up and setting up "wildlife divisions" the day is coming when all wildlife is pest control.

Where does the money for WS come from? What does WS charge an hour? Do they charge mileage, expenses, rooms, per diem? If so when? I have heard it ask and never seen anyone answer. You seem to know its below cost.
