So I do have some experience with trapping cats.
Cats that are feral and live outside
keep making babies, so the idea is
to trap them, spay or neuter them,
and they vaccinate them,
and then you release them back to where you found them.
At least it stops the population
from continuing to grow.

[Ivy] I'm taking the old press I found
to see Mark Barbour
at the International Printing Museum.
- Ivy, welcome
to the International Printing Museum.
- Yes, that's a real place.
[Mark] You got to be careful with these guys.
[Ivy] You do?
Well, do you need these?
It's some Halloween stuff that was left in there.
- Plastic, I'm cast iron.
- OK.
- That's an important piece.
Let's take a look at what we've got going on here.
- Got a butter knife in there too.
- Yeah, actually, not a butter knife.
That's a palette knife.
And this is used for mixing your inks.
This is a letterpress.
This is the origins of printing
going back to Gutenberg 1450,
and to the Chinese back to the seventh century.
You put ink onto it and it gets pressed into paper.
And that's the main way of printing up through
the middle of the 20th century.
All your old books and all that,
all printed by letterpress up until like 1950, 1960,
somewhere in that era.
This is obviously a small press,
but it's a marking machine.
It's how to imprint printing on a three-dimensional surface,
like a golf ball.
- OK. - All right.
How do you get your company logo
and name on around object?
[cricket chirping]
A marking machine.
Feel that.
What do you--what is that?
- Um, I don't know. - Rubber.
- A hard rubber.
- Yeah, it's kind of a hard, stiff rubber.
So this is really for printing on flat surfaces.
But if it's squishy, then you can press your object
into it and roll, like, the golf ball
or the ping pong ball or something else onto it.
- Ah.
- And from the rubber,
you're gonna press something onto it
to get your printing.
This came out of Germany, probably 1940s, maybe.
Believe it or not, this machine is still made today.
- Wow.
[Mark] Pull up the handle.
[Ivy] Like butter.
[Mark] Notice how that disk turned?
[Ivy] Uh-huh.
- There's a ratchet in the back here
that helps spread the ink each time you print.
You don't want to keep taking it from the same spot.
You'll run out of ink. - Ah.
- What color you want to do? - Red.
- All right.
Taking the palette knife,
we're grabbing a little bit of ink.
[Ivy] Reminds me of glue when it got a little dry,
you just take the top layer off and squeeze it out.
- Yeah.
So why don't we--
let's see if we can get your name together.
We got an I.

to meet with Amy and Dave.
♪ ♪
So how long have you guys been here,
and tell me exactly, what is this foundation?
- Well, we are the Judith A. Bassett
Canid Education & Conservation Center,
which is a mouthful.
And it started when, about 14 years ago,
we became interested in this rare, unique population
of foxes, the Russian domesticated foxes.
[Lisa] I know about these foxes.
[Amy] Yes, and so we had this passion
to understand how these foxes could be utilized
for search and rescue.
So we started our journey there.
[Lisa] It sounds like I've come to the right place.
I know this is an animal trap.
- Yes, it is.
- We have a big animal trap.
We have a little animal trap.
Trap in a trap. [Amy] A trap in a trap.
- So, yeah, why don't you just tell me
what you know about these.
- Yup, well, these are called humane traps
in that the animal--
it doesn't kill the animal when they go in it.
Usually someone will put some bait in there
and the animal will go in it.
This particular one would be for a size,
perhaps like a squirrel.
The bottom one here, this would be for the size
of potentially like a raccoon,
a gray fox, something like that,
and could be used for a wildlife rehabber.
Sometimes someone will find an animal with mange,
injured or hurt his leg, broken leg,
and so you'll put these traps out
and hopefully, the animal goes in it and then it's trapped.
And then hopefully, go to a rehab facility
where it can then be released back into the wild.
- Are these in decent condition?
Would you say these are good quality traps?
- Well, I think they're in--in nice condition,
but as far as the quality, eh, not the highest end.
- Let's see, what else?
There's a couple other things that came with this.
[Dave] These are baits. [Lisa] Ah.
- So these--these would be what you would put into the trap.
This one says, fox, coyote, raccoon, and bobcat.
- Oh.
What do you think it is?
- It's usually--ooh!
- Oh!
Whoa!
That looks gross.
- That looks like a fox, coyote,
raccoon, and bobcat in there.
- That's nasty.
Did it smell?
- You may have to pay to get rid of this one.
- That's like biohazard.
[Dave] Yes. - Whoa!
- And--
[Lisa] That looks like vintage something.
- Yes, this is scent.
Animals are very-- they have very powerful noses.
- Yes.
- And so this is, says in the back, real red fox urine.
- No!
- Full strength.
[Amy] Full strength.
- [gasps] Not diluted? [Dave] No.
- Come on, you gotta smell it.
- Come on!
[Lisa] I'll do it, I'll smell it.

[Dave] Oh, I smell it from here.

Whew!
Ow!

but that is not the first urine
I have smelled from a storage locker.
- OK, well, I believe it.
- And then on to this mysterious case.
[light music]
- OK, so what this would be is--
I'm pretty sure it's a net gun.
- A what?
- A net gun.
You put a CO2 cartridge in here,
and then if an animal escapes and he's 10 feet away or so,
animals have what's called a flight distance,
so they have a particular distance
that they'll let you get to them, but--but no closer.
- OK.
- And so you get right to the end of their
flight distance... - Uh-huh.
- You aim, fire, and it throws a net out
and it has weights on the side.
- What?
- That then goes over the animal.
Then you can take your animal handling gloves.
- Oh?
- Go over to the animal, and you've captured him.
- OK, so let's get down to the money part.
