I can't speak for everyone, but as a subsistence user, I donate every year to conservation efforts. Believe it or not, hunters, trappers, and mushers are capable of deeply caring about animals and the environment. They are not mutually exclusive. Just because you chose not to sit down and have a steak or wear fur mittens (which speaking from experience are way warmer than synthetic mittens), doesn't mean you get to sit down a take a big dump on people who do. Every time I catch a fish, I am grateful for it to be in my freezer. When my husband brought home his first reindeer, we skinned it and butchered it in the living room. I cried, but I was grateful because that reindeer fed us for months. Don't sit there and say that people who eat animals, watch the Iditarod, hunt, and trap don't care about animals. That is the biggest lie PETA tells.
