BOYCOTT ETSY!!!

A recent statement from Etsy reveals that the platform will no longer facilitate the sale of fur, starting in August 2026. Etsy has served as a primary marketplace for numerous trappers and fur crafters to buy and sell wild fur. This decision, however, reflects a lack of understanding and is driven by emotional responses and misconceptions, ultimately neglecting the importance of modern trapping in effective wildlife management.

A little reminder for next season, given the recent FHA sale results. To anyone thinking of stealing my traps, fur or the properties I worked hard to obtain permission to trap, you should probably book an appointment with a reconstructive plastic surgeon and your local dentist.👊😵‍💫
Just saying!🤷‍♂️

I didn’t separate out the green fur on sell sheets …. soo cats, beaver, and otter average was a little better.

I recently seen someone comment saying that trapping beavers was cruel, why not just shot them. The vast majority of individuals who criticize trapping, labeling it as cruel or barbaric, lack a comprehensive understanding of the topic. Their perceptions are often shaped by emotional appeals rather than logical reasoning. Below are images of two beavers that I skinned, which had been shot and survived. One beaver had several shotgun pellets in its head and front shoulder that had fully healed, while the other had a .22 caliber bullet in its cheek that had also healed. Although both beavers recovered from their injuries, it is likely that they endured significant pain and suffering. I frequently encounter cases like these involving beavers and coyotes mostly. This evidence suggests that trapping is not only more effective but also more humane than shooting beavers.
