RE: Finally Some Pictures of the Elusive Fisher Cat!

There are better ways to help balance animal populations - the trapping is simply cruel. :( A shotgun at least borders on merciful, if the killing is deemed essential after other avenues have been pursued. Selling fur? Sorry but just no.

Here in Thailand we use a line of natural beehives to keep rampant wild elephants out of farm lands. It works well.

I understand you're concern with trapping being cruel. In this region trapping along with hunting is a way of life. Killing of any animal except for consumption is something that I'm not into, but hunting for meat is another story. Much of the meat we consume throughout the year is venison. Being a meat eater, I don't have any reservations when it comes to White Tail deer hunting. I would prefer to eat wild game such as venison, turkey, grouse, and other fowl, rather than the hormone injected meat you find in the market. Not only is this meat laced with growth hormones, the slaughtering of these animals is by no means any more humane then hunting.

That's a first, I know you mentioned that you have hunted, but not for some time now.
I guess you have to be a hunter to really understand.
thanks @idig one vote for hunters.
