<< don't have to justify myself. But since you asked: I trapped to make
money. My friend and I trapped all winter and made $100 each>> Dave...Dave... Dave.... you don't have to justify anything to me or yourself. But this is a debate right? The debate was the killing of wildlife for food remember? Now it turns out that that wasn't quite what you were doing . Is OK if that's where you are coming from.
<<But the real question is: "Why were my friend and I able to sell our pelts for
money?" Because the yuppies of the day were willing to pay the New York fur
shops top dollar for fur coats and collars, who in turn payed the Pacific Hide and
Fur Depot, who in turn paid the two boys who learned how to exist in the
ecosystem, not just pet it.>> Sorry I guess I misunderstood you when you said that you hunted<<
Deer, elk, bear, marten, mink, weasels, bobcat -- all more common now than 100 years
ago. >> I thought it was your current practice. Still think about it though. I'll bet deep down you are not too happy about it. Seems like you're trying to blame somebody!
<<By the way, since you are so close to the New York Museum of Natural History,>> I live in Santa Monica CA.
<<You could never
understand the memories that I have because your experience is clothed in political
correctness. >> .......Oh what bull....Yeah,yeah You're a regular mt.man and I 'm just an old city slicker who spouts political correctness. >i>Egad It has gotten to be politically correct to accuse someone of being politically correct!
