Just because someone kills a seal when its fur is at a point where someone will buy it doesnt make em heartless,or anything less of a human.There just like farmers slaughtering squab or veal.Its just that nature raised it not the farmer.
Everyone gets the heartstrings pulled sometimes when they dispatch an animal.Thats just the nature of the beast.By the time we are 45-50 yrs old,we know first hand what the animal is feeling.Weve had to swim for our lives,duck bullets,get people out of wrecked cars,and burry dead friends.
The thing that keeps me focussed is seeing what happens in areas with an unhealthy population.I wont trap in areas where the population isnt out of control.The battle scars,mange,etc realy shows.and that is far worse than death by trapper.I would hope someone would do it for me when the time comes.The trapper that realy knows what hes doing hasnt seen a chewed leg in a lot of years.And when he sets,its got the animals welfare in mind.
