The only mammals of the day were feral Nutrias (Coypus), aquatic rodents originally from southern South America released from the bankrupt fur-farms and well established here. In this light, all beaks are dark! We counted more than 35 of them, relaxed and fearless, clearly not hunted.

In the early morning out on the water there were plenty of Fluttering Shearwaters and Australasian Gannets, and close to a salmon farm we found New Zealand Fur Seals as well as Pied Shags, Little Shags and Spotted Shags (I can only assume that kiwis just like calling all cormorants shags because they are all five years old).

Somewhere around the Platte River one of the Audubon boys received a black-footed hide from a fur trader. John Bachmann headed west to gather material for Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America. Audubon painted this new creature and wrote up a brief description, which went into his posthumous book and so out into the world.

If you've seen The Witness , you know that Eddie drove around with a van that had a continuously looping video of what it takes to get the fur that some find so appealing (and he gave out leaflets, too). PETA's been using horrifying images for years.

Latimer's ignorance also comes across in his discussion of anti-fur campaigns, so it's easy to miss this potentially good point (about some animal activists): But did you ever notice that we don't hear very much from them if anything about shoe leather? He clearly hasn't heard of the low-hanging fruit concept.
