We heard the Cariboo Rec Centre from May 6-8 is involved in an event that is bringing the South Cariboo Trappers Association to your town for a convention. The local trappers’ association only has 38 members, who own, lease or share traplines across the region for furs to sell on the international market or at auction. Russia and China are the primary buyers and thanks to sanctions they are now buying less than 5% of the animals killed in North America for this outdated fashion. Tim James allegedly told the 100 Mile Free Press, “A lot of us eat beaver meat and cat meat like lynx.” Bobcats and protected Canada lynx are being eaten by trappers? Anyone who would do or say such a vile thing should not be representing your town.
While you may think it will draw in customers and be entertaining at least, you should know that the era of such ignorance has passed. You will anger far more people than you entertain with such a barbaric relic of the past. We would like you to cancel this conference and listen to the vast majority who would never want these kinds of people coming to town.
Please let me know that we can announce to our 3.6 million followers on Facebook and our millions on other social channels that you have chosen to do the right thing for the animals. If you choose otherwise, we will have no other choice than to let our supporters know that we tried to educate you and failed. We will ask them to reach out politely to convince you that the days of killing for sport or fashion have passed and people just won't tolerate such abuse any more.
