I don't like inhumane trapping. I am happier with humane trapping, when you trap them alive, because it means the animal doesn't get harmed. I don't like snares or the traps you stand on and it snaps shut (snap trap?). I HATE poisoning, even rodent poisoning, mainly because it dehydrates them and they suffer to death.

Conibears.
And live traps involves either -
Shooting the animal or
Rehoming which can kill the animal from stress and animals already there

Hey hunters! I've got a weird semi-ontopic question for ya.

My animals like to play with scraps of pelts of various animals, but I'm looking for big ones that you can use to play with a good sized dog. How much do you usually see those going for, and how can I make sure the animal in question was killed humanely? I've been buying scraps for the cat from someone local who makes coats and things out of what he catches but he never has any scraps large enough to give to a dog the size of a GSD or Doberman.

There your looking for a deer, bear, wolf or coyote. Deer & beer I'm not sure, however wolf pets are anywhere from $200 to $500 and anything after 500 still. Coyote a little less. If you want SCRAPS you can ask a big game hunter or a taxidermist, it may have to be shipped but if they're nice enough it'll be cheap - too free

I found somewhere that has deer and coyote scraps :] I don't want the whole piece, just bits of it. The cat's scraps are about the size of a dollar and cost me 50c, but a dog would be able to swallow them easily which is why I want some bigger ones for the dog. Thanks!

Just tossing my opinion in here for a moment as a hunter.
Trapping for re-release, such as wildlife needing to be relocated, is acceptable.
No damage to the animal, minor stress, and it's for their well-being.
Trapping as a method of hunting though, is wrong in my opinion.
Such as the ankle traps. The animal is liable to be left in that trap for days at a time and by the time they're found by the 'hunter' who set out said trap their meat has gone bad and they can't be used, thus leaving the death to be pointless.

Hunting;
My views on hunting are quite simple.
If you kill it. Eat it.
Or give it to someone who will.
Just don't waste it.
I also find gun hunting to be more humane as there is a higher chance of an insta-kill rate. No suffering.
Though bow hunting can be just as successful in capable hands.

Alright. I'm done. Hope this makes as much sense to others as it did to me and I didn't make myself look like a complete butt online.
