Re: “Hunting Foes Want to Snare Seats on Vermont's Fish & Wildlife Board”
All I can say is everything that I want to say has actually already been said for the most part. It is just amazing to me that people in the year 2016 can't understand that these animals are sentient creatures. It is understandable if people hunt because they really need the meat for food, but there is no
reason to trap anymore.Trappers would be very upset if someone trapped their hunting dogs, but somehow they discount the feelings of wildlife. Fur is no longer a money making industry and the trappers that seem to enjoy the pain they inflict on these animals are truly sadistic. This issue needs to be addressed on a much broader scale in this country. People don't eat trapped animals and if they trap for pleasure they need professional help. Jeffrey Daumer abused animals as a child and even he admitted later on death row he knew there was something wrong for having the need to do this. Some trappers do it because it is a tradition in their family, but there is no need to trap anymore. How about starting a tradition of showing your kids and grandkids how these animals live in their natural environment through hiking or photographing? This would nurture the kind of character we would want them to show as adults. Some nuisance trap but it has been proven there are more successful and humane ways to solve their problems. Trapping is outdated and needs to stop.
