81. Okay, then...why?
If they accepted the anti-cruelty lobbies (your words) why would there be no profit? Because some commercial skinner with an anal electrocution probe on a fur farm would beat their price. So, trappers lower themselves.

I've never, ever taken the actions of a native, acting on subsistence as wrong, so to speak. I understand survival. However, it's degrading that "honorable way to make a living" because the WalMart of the trapping world will beat the price. Don't rage against me, rage against the industry putting those native folks out of business.

It's all ugly. You're right. Rise above it.
