pelts

Even nearly perfectly evolved hunters like sharks, lions and tigers are merely food and decorative pelts to us.

My grandfather in his youth in Queensland worked for a while hunting crocodiles, to sell the pelts.

It's the equivalent of going into an animal sanctuary, slaughtering all the animal, and selling their pelts.

And most are not gonna want to negotiate raccoon pelts to fuel oil (or gold shavings, for that matter).

The American bison was destroyed mainly to both deprive Native Americans of food and to have a lot of pelts, that's done.

They're quite the nuisance, and nobody wants to trap them for pelts anymore.

That may have been as case of get the pelts no matter what.

I agree whole heartedly on the just blindly gathering 100's of rat tails or wolf pelts being boring beyond redemption.

American capitalists have excelled at ruthless competition by the sword (which is frequently the legal pen) since the days of pelts, gold, oil, etc.

Once a bidding frenzy at a fur auction meant the price of squirrel pelts doubled and my colleague made $16K snaring squirrels that year.

Ivory, beaver pelts, and platinum are/were relatively concentrated forms of wealth.

If I steal your wolf pelts, the forest won't send me to jail for it.
