perhaps just educate on a one-to-one basis, as the opportunity arises.

if you have a healthy horse business at your clinic

a picture of a raccoon looking really cute at the camera sitting in a hay loft or on some round bales.

then words to the effect of. " It's all soo cute till your prize horse if dying from hay contaminated by my excrement "and a picture of a distressed and dying horse below.

they are a lot more likely to be land owners who have high stakes than someone with a cat in an apartment.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

No matter your good intentions, if it could negatively affect your employer I wouldn't do it.


Poor people have poor ways.

I知 so torn. Work is a great outlet and will target the type of people I want to educate but it could turn ugly.
Again, much forethought is required. Thank you all for your thoughts. I considered each deeply.
I知 almost positive that social media is not the right venue for this. Perhaps if we would host an open house or some other event I could have a table of my own. I don稚 know

A powerful picture is one with a coyote having a house cat hanging out of its mouth but that痴 the wrong thing to put on social media.

Find the article/ interview of Ozzy Osbornes dog getting chewed on by a coyote.
Most everyone likes Ozzy.


swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

You have to remember that 1 out of 3 Democratic Voters is just as dumb as the other two.

A pic of Kristi Noem dispatching a coyote would almost guarantee a promotion for you.

How about a trapper teaching a youth the sport, maybe just focus on it as an American heritage tradition

Not a bad idea^^.

Member YouthTrapper would be a good fit for an interview.

My go-to response when asked why do I trap beavers by someone who seems overly concerned for the beavers is short and sweet.
"I drive the roads where problem beavers dam up the culverts which causes the road to wash out during a heavy rain."
"I do not ever want to be the first guy going down those roads at 45 MPH only to suddenly discover that the road isn't there any more."
Their elevated concern for beavers is always suddenly diminished.
A picture of a recently washed out road would be a good eye opener.
