Anti's Attack Montanan's Right to Trap

Our Director from Nevada to the National Trappers Association, Jim Curran, makes the following urgent request: 

"As you probably have heard, the animal-right organization called 'Footloose' has qualified a ballot initiative for this November to outlaw all trapping in Montana. It has been over a decade since the anti’s have attacked trappers at the ballot booth. Remember Arizona, California, and Colorado all lost the foothold trap. This initiative would outlaw all trapping not just the use of footholds. Remember we could be next if the antis get a win in Montana. The only way for the Montana Trappers to win is if they have adequate money to fight it statewide. It takes huge amounts of money to adequately fight this. Our Association has already sent them $1,000 and I hope we can send them more.

"I would like to ask all of you to skin out several good coyotes or fox that you are just throwing away because of the low value this year and bring them to the sale and donate them to the Montana Cause. If we can get two hundred coyotes at $10.00 we can get Montana another $2,000. In addition, please consider sending a donation to “Montanans for Effective Wildlife Management” P.O. Box 133, Gilford, MT, 59525. Remember if the anti’s win in Montana, the bull’s-eye could be on us next."
