Personally speaking, with trapping related marketing. "Fur" needs to be taken out of all names, titles, slogans associated with trapping. The younger generation who are the deal breaker in whether or not we will continue to have trapping privileges. Fur is an archaic term in the minds of young people because it is not a resource that is used in the United States. Marketing terms of trapping need to be ones such as conservation and nuisance. Disease which occurs when conservation is not in place is a great motivator with animal lovers. Pets being eaten by coyotes is another motivator. Education in school, social media advertising on the humane aspect of traps is a great avenue to change hearts and minds about trapping.
