Ya know, I heard for years that trapping would never be banned, and that the Gov't would accept science over the "Twisted-by-PETA" emotions of the uninformed public.

Well...didn't quite go that way, now did it? As a long-line mink/beaver trapper I got left with a ton of fur handling gear along with 30 dozen traps. Not to mention a big chunk of annual income is gone - right along with the wonderful experiences of working a PNW wintertime trapline.

I'm much older now, but I sure do miss spending the day running a 100 set mink line! Unfortunately, if I set traps for mink come late Dec. I would most likely be crucified for it...

These kinds of things don't happen in one fell swoop KK, they happen in little bits, here and there, and finally the RIGHT has been lost completely. Then, people look around wondering...thinking..."THEY" said it would never happen!!
