Never confuse "Skinning" with "Shaving"

If you do confuse them, you'll end up like Ted Bundy!

I prefer munching beaver over shaving and skinning.

Well, it beats dissecting a frog. I'm not sure I would want to marry a girl that good with knife though:eek:

Which brings to mind...if an animal rights activist fell in the forest, would anyone hear it?

And the corolary to that hypothesis... if you stab an animal rights activist in the forest... would he/she/it scream...
and if someone heard it, would they clap with one hand...
and would maggots still eat the body?

LOL, if peta had been around during any winter, of my highschool days, to see the wall where I tacked up hides before I had enough to bother selling, they would have declared a 'mass grave' and held a candle light vigil.

What kind of traps are they using? Do the traps kill the beavers instantly, or do they suffer?

Seems to me there's nothing wrong with trying to make sure the beavers are killed quickly and without suffering, if indeed you must kill them.

I suppose I'll be slapped with the PETA label now, but I don't care. I don't like to see any animals suffer.

Accept the ones you leave on the side of the road?

Sadly I'm with you banana, I'll go get a court order restriction against you now..

Its not hunting for the sport, its hunting for education and cultural awareness. I put that on the same grounds as knowing how to build a fire and erect a tent and collect drinking water. Its something young people should learn, even if they don't plan on using it as adults.

When I was in Boy Scouts, we skinned a cow as a group (talk about a load of crap coming out the back-end!), then skinned rabbits in smaller groups and ate them (not the cow, just the rabbits). I remember trying to pack the rabbit's foot in salt to try and preserve it as a souvenir. Not sure what happened to it though. I think my mom probably threw it out while cleaning my room.

Opps, thought this might be a thread with hot adolescents and a Wicked Weasel Swimsuit

this just goes to show that peta would rather see animals starve to death slowly rather than taken out instantly (in most cases) I dont know a single hunter that lets an animal suffer for too long.

These people wanna act like if an animal group gets over populated they just magically (and painlessly) dwindle down to the appropriate number.

I dont laugh when I hear about animal rights activeistsgetting killed by the animals they are trying to protect I just think were is AETH (animals for ethical treatment of humans) when all this goes down. OH WAIT there ANIMALS they usually just think about SURVIVAL!
