Before the WA Legislatures House Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources. HB 1775 to outlaw fur production. Tough to make your point, they only give you 90 seconds to talk. I got a little more as they asked me a few questions. I am optimistic. Had good representation testifying, trappers, fur farmers, fur dealers, fly tiers, tribal representative, biologist, Fur Commission, Congressional Sportsmans Foundation. We outnumbered the antis.

We can't always depend on "someone else" to do what needs to be done. Thank you for making time to attend and testify.

Good job, bud! Living in a place like Washington state has got to be tough. Having what you love to do get attacked makes it much worse I reckon. Keep charging!

You been fighting the good fight for alot of years, another of many of the hero's who do what needs doing in the background never looking for fame or glory, your a rare bird these days. Too bad so many of you don't get the national recognition you so deserve.
