Dear Sirs,

My name is Ginette Callaway. I have lived in the State of Georgia for over 20 years and I am looking to maybe move to Montana in the near future if possible. I am an artist (I paint) and I love the natural environment and wilderness. Everything I have seen about Montana is so wonderful. The nature and land, it's filled with Life and incomparable beauty. In my search for property in Montana I came across an issue that disturbs me very much. I read about the trapping issue. I have seen what trapping does to those poor souls caught in traps. Maybe I am naive, but for some reason I hoped such things are of the past. I see it is not. It is beyond me why we still do such barbaric things. There is no need to make animal suffer in trapping. I know, there are many that bring up the argument of tradition. Throughout human history, many traditions have found their way to extinction. Some sooner than later, we simply learned better ways. Trapping too belongs on the trash pile of history.

I could go in to all the different arguments pros and cons about trapping, but to me these arguments distract from what truly matters. What should matter is that we need to evolve as humans and treat our fellow earth travelers with kindness, dignity and compassion. Every feeling human would agree, none of that comes to mind when we look at what trapping is, A cruel way of hurting living beings. Please I implore you to think deeply about this. Montana is such a place of spirit, soul, magnificence, in the eyes of anyone who sees it. Let us not mare this beauty with the ugliness of trapping. Let us agree that we can do without it in this new century. I believe anything is possible. Let Montana be as big in it's compassion for animals as it is in beauty and let Montana be a trailblazer and end trapping. It would be a shining example for others to follow! Thank You! Respectfully Ginette Callaway


Today I will also forward my letter to Montana Department of Tourism, too. Tourism is the 2nd largest industry in Montana and they need to continue to hear what impact trapping has on visitors choosing to come here.
