78. Someone selling fur to feed their family is a honorable

way to make a living. Look at it this way, if trappers were to accept many of the anti-cruelty lobbies demands their would be no profit to be had from trapping. No money, ghost towns and cultural genocide. Killing anything is a pretty horrible business. Do I care that they club them, it seems cruel but so are leg hold traps. I talked with a few trappers about this (I was once very anti-fur) and after explaining that they really could care less what I thought, they explained that it was cheap and effective. Ugly yes but no more ugly than a slaughterhouse.
