Please, do not buy animal skin clothes

A message to stores: people should not buy your animal skin clothes because
they are made of animal skin.

Stores should not carry this stuff.

People should not decorate their store or house with animal parts because
animals shouldn't be hunted or trapped.

It bothers me to see animal parts in stores because animals were killed to
make those decorations.

Canadian Tire is one of the stores that I want to stop from using animal
parts to decorate with.

A message to ordinary locals: please do not buy animal skin clothes because
animals were killed to make them. Please do not take any jobs that involve
killing animals.

A message to everyone who has pets or sled teams: mushers should always send
their sick and weak dogs to the vet to get help. All pet dogs and sled dogs
should be spayed or neutered so they won't have puppies, and the mushers
won't have to kill extra puppies.

A message to hunters and trappers: hunting and trapping should be banned
from this country because animal deaths from hunting and trapping are not
fair to nature. Animals should be allowed to live in peace and die
naturally, just like us.

Kids can have an opinion about hunting and trapping.

Please do not put anything bad in our mailbox or on our doorstep.

Thank you.
