Petr you can thank Mr. Dobbins by having an open mind
Most of the guys on here are used to closed minded anti trappers that only throw insults and don’t have a real understanding of nature . Most trappers help maintain the balance of nature by keeping the predator population in check so they don’t kill all the prey species then stave to death themselves
A trapper isn’t committing murder anymore then a coyote is when it kills a baby deer as it is coming out of the mother’s womb . The difference is the death we provide is quick and painless and what you would call humane unlike the cruelty that Mother Nature gives to all creature that grow old and are eaten while there still alive
So before you call us murderers remember that most trappers have spent more time in the wilds than the average 20 men combined and therefore have been educated by nature for more than you could possibly Imagine

Good point I ain’t wasting my time on a hard headed goat. I got plenty of those at the barn. If you have a open mind and want to hear our side make a post asking us. If not I don’t know why you’d hang out on here

Good point. How many people would go hungry, and be driven into poverty if the fur and meat trade was stopped.

Fur is also very environmentally friendly, unlike synthetic materials that are very damaging to the environment since they are produced with petroleum products.

Exactly isn’t plastic what these latte drinking, tofu eatin hippies don’t want? Remember the whole plastic straw save the turtles mumbo jumbo? Yet they wear plastic fur!

Petr I would like to ask you when you look in a mirror what do you see? This is a serious question. Do you notice the placement of your eyes? Now when you see a rabbit or deer are their eyes like yours in the front of their face or are they on the sides? When you see a sparrow or pidgin are their eyes on the side of their heads or in front like a hawk or an owl. There is a reason for the different placement of different animals eyes. It is because of what we eat. By that I mean some animals eat grass and seeds their eyes are on the side of their heads so they can see almost 360 degrees around them and be able to see anything that is coming at them. Maybe a cat or fox or a lion or leopard or a wolf. For you see all the animals that eat plants have their eyes on the side of their heads
And the animals that eat other animals have their eyes in the front of their heads. This is just one of thousands of examples of how nature has shaped the animals to fit in their place and do what they were meant to do. Is a lion cruel when it catches a zebra? If there were no lions or leopards would the zebras continue to bear young and over populate the grasslands and eat every blade of grass? Yes they would, with the result being starvation which is probably the cruelest way to die of all . This is just a little bit of something to think about.

I almost swallowed my gums when I read That one! Excellent!

Petr, I hope you are being open minded because I'm sure most of us will be happy to discuss these issues with you.

There are many many pros to conservation which include hunting fishing and trapping. There's no bigger group of conservationists than hunters trappers and fishermen.

Trappers are vital for wildlife control both in the wild and in populated areas.

Good things happen to me! I wake up in the morning I live in a great country with the best gosh dang president in the world! I don’t believe in Gaia or Mother Earth or tofu or marijuana or any of that hippie stuff. I do believe in God and the fact he put us on th earth to preserve his most wonderful creation!! If there weren’t trappers mange and starvation would kill the coyotes. It’s not like Bambi where everything lives in harmony. In the real world Bambi may have been eaten by predators. That’s where we trappers come in! We keep the predators in check! We see things that are nasty! Bad mange, starvation, animals dying because of those reasons! I don’t stand for cruelty none on here do! But we aren’t cruel we have to buy licenses, we have check times, so when we’re sick we are checking traps when it’s snowing, raining, what ever we are checking traps. We have regulations believe me! I hope you’ll have a open mind and read this!

God bless

Petr, it’s simple biology. Nothing on this planet, including you, can live without the death of something else. Folks on these forums actually live closer to the earth and understand it better than most.

Is he going to talk or answer any of these questions? Get his point or points across or are we just hollering down the well?

If Savell's picture was too disturbing to to Petr, he/she best not google Phil Brown's fox catch pictures. How many innocent bunnies you figure Phil has saved in the last several years?

Well, I never caught a pile of fox, so I should be safe.
That said, I don't want to risk my track record on avoiding censor, either, so will play it safe.
Welcome to Trapperman!

2020 is full of surprises!
After his/her opening statement, im not even going to try to make him/her understand us.

Hi Petr always nice to exchange with a Russian. I was fortunate enough to live in South wester Moscow (Yesenavo) years ago.

Which region do you live?


You mention mother earth. I feel that many trappers are staunch conservationist. Humans are just as much part of the ecosystem as a wolf. We all have our place and are managed accordingly.

One thing I appreciate about fur is that it's a natural, renewable resource unlike the petro chemicals that make up so much of our clothing.

AV, now that's a humane death! We could all be so fortunate when it's our time!

Apparently i missed something,lol!..Nope, just saw it...Oh My!

Very humane indeed! That animal felt nothing! That’s what we as trappers want

I try. "We" all deserve a last supper.

Petr are all of your clothes 100% natural with zero synthetic or plastic materials whatsoever? Have you considered the damage done to your beloved "gaia" because of your contribution to pollution by purchasing such items. I submit unless all, ALL, of your clothing is made by your hands of plant material, then your hands are just as guilty as you claim ours to be. Even the buttons had better be wooden and no zippers or polyester.

If you believe in karma, it comes to all. I do not believe in such nonsense but to each their own.

GOD help you petr
