Don't forget the dogs, even the big ones because hey 6 against one is fair.

Back in the dark ages of the 20th century we had a fur buyer that would show up in town every other Saturday with an old 1 ton farm truck. he use to pay $25 an animal, all you had to do was shoot it and let it freeze. The home made box on the truck was 12'x 8'x 8' at the end of the day that box was filled.
This all happened in a gas station parking lot on main street. Seemed pretty normal for small town rural Alberta.

I wouldn't mind having a few of their heads on pikes as warnings to the rest.

When my daughter was 7 I heard her screaming, ran to the door to see a coyote in the pen had savaged two piglets. It turned on my daughter and BANG! Loaded gun above the door. Was a couple years before Sgt. Alan Rock & Queasy Company had their way.

I worked at a Hudson's Bay Company fur auction as a porter, for a couple of weeks when I was a teenager. There were a few hundred thousand pelts there and out job was to present graded bundles of pelts for examination by the buyers. There were buyers there from Europe, New York ... all over. There were a lot of wild furs and tons of ranched mink and fox. The best ... the very nicest fur of all of them is, without a doubt Lynx, harvested in winter. It has to be one of the softest substances on Earth (Watch out for the claws still on the pelts, though!!).
This is all from the past, all gone. Now fur auctions sell Orlon pelts and the buyers are from Bengali sweat shop.
