Did they change that rule? I know that WSTA was trying to convince the state to let furbuyers seal cats and otters but I havent heard anything else about it.

Title: What is "sealing"?
Post by: ivarhusa on January 07, 2009, 02:23:30 PM: Several responders have mentioned something called "sealing". What is it, and why is it done?

Post by: Michelle_Nelson on January 07, 2009, 02:29:33 PM: It is a seal they put on Bobcats, Cougar, and Otter pelts. It's a cities tag.

Post by: WildlifeAssassin on January 08, 2009, 11:47:44 AM: They have to seal them because the pelts of those animals are similar to endangered species and the seal denotes they are or the legal variety. It also allows the WDFW to know how many have been taken instead of relying on people to report the correct number.

Wow. . .$10 is REALLY low!!! I hadn't heard what the current prices were (no dog's to sell right now anyway). . .but the last price on dog's that I saw was $35!!! I don't know how old that is though. . .it might have been 2007/2008 winter prices??? because it wasn't SUPER old!!!
