Beaver Shots

From about 1550 until 1850, felt hats were fashionable in much of Europe and the felt hat industry became the driving force behind the fur trade. By the late 1500's, the beaver was extinct in Western Europe and was close to extinction in Scandinavia and Russia. The North American fur trade became a new source and kept the fashion going for another 200 years.

Nice warm hats can be made from recycled soda bottles. Ditto for coats and mittens and mukluks. Maybe it's time we let the critters alone.
