PETA has no idea of what kind of people and culture they are dealing with. Most Alaskans just don't give a darn what groups like PETA might think, espescially when you get out of Anchorage.
I lived in Fairbanks (where this GS Troop resides). In the U. of Alaska - Fairbanks bookstore, you can buy a hatchet.
In one clas at UAF I was the oddball of the group, because I didn't have my own dogsled team. That's right, in a class of mostly women, most of the side conversations revolved around dog team care, racing, adventures, etc.
Telling Alaskans that they can't teach kids how to trap beavers is like telling us that we shouldn't play computer war games.
