Save the wetlands...eat/wear Nutria.

I had never even heard of them until you posted. Interesting. Once again, another disaster with introducing an invasive species.

I don't care for the fur trade, in terms of cruel traps or seal clubbing, but I don't have a problem with livestock as long as they are treated decently during their lives, and killed humanely when the time comes. I also don't like waste, so leather is not a problem for me.

People who keep their livestock in disgusting and cruel conditions should be forced to live in same.

A lamb rancher that I read about in Sunset Magazine said it best. " They should only have one bad day."

The people that set these minks loose just caused thousands of them to starve to death. Not a pleasant end.

These Eco-Terrorists give us thoughtful environmental scientists a bad name because the Terrs are both ignorant and thoughtless. During my career as an Environmental Scientist and bureaucrat I saw some really dangerous situations. Things like chrome based tanning waste stored in a sand banked pond on the top of a hill over a very clean trout stream/water supply. If the piled up dam holding this stuff had burst there would have been a flood of toxic waste.


I have no idea why a bunch of fools would want to "liberate 40,000 mink". These animals are not pets, they are livestock. IDIOTS.

McClellan saddles are the most comfortable rig I've ever sat. And they're way easier for the horse as well. My little mare got to where she wouldn't take another saddle. She'd bunch up and just be snotty. Mine is a 73 model. No fenders or skirts a d a leather covered seat. Then there's the 58 model that's has a rawhide seat and skirts and fenders. Bests rigs going for lots of miles in the saddle.

I hear ya on the leather meets asphalt. Have a jacket like that myself. Real cowhide. Had it almost 30 years and it's barely broke in despite heavy use. It will take the pavement quite well needs be. It's saved me with a couple bird strikes. Good body armor.
