Supports trapping

| April 16, 2014 12:18 PM

I am 77 years old and if you sold everything I own, I doubt I am worth $1,000. When I was born, I had the freedom and the right to trap, which I have done since I was six years old.

Initiative 169 would ban trapping in Montana. To think that in my 77 years on earth we would deny the freedom and the rights to future generations to trap in the state of Montana is unthinkable.

Two things must be done to stop this nonsense is not to sign I-169 and amend the state constitution that no one should be denied the God-given rights.

I have one request — pass a constitutional amendment to keep trapping legal for as long as this country lasts.
