I agree. I love wild game (like deer and elk). I think that if the animal is going to be hunted it might as well be used. It may sound weird, but we are trying to convince my grandpa to give us an elk head. Don't worry--they ate the meat! I also agree that sport hunting is really stupid as are hunting safaris. Did you know people can go to Africa and hunt lions, zebras, and giraffes?! I definitely think someone should start up a thread about poaching, by the way.

In this awful store, Cabela's, they have an African "exhibit" with stuffed lions, zebras, gazelles, warthogs, those cute, little barking deer, the critically endangered giant sable antelope, a partially real rhino, etc. I just about threw up when I went there. My mom and I left early, and picked my dad and brother up later. It was awful. In the middle of the building, sits the biggest "exhibit". It has moose, deer (both white-tailed and mule), elk (are they the same thing as caribou?), big horn sheep, mountain goats, grizzleys, black bears, musk ox, POLAR BEARS, coyote, wolf, wolverine, bobcat, lynx, puma, bunnies, chipmunks (waaaa), mice, etc. If you can think of a North American animal, endangered or not, they have it! SOOO MEAN!! :(

Mainahs' ah' wicked huntah's. Heads ah' heyuh', and theyuh', and everywheyuh'.
Personally, it disgusts me to go to certain stores. I find the ones at L.L. Beans fascinating, since they've been there for twenty yeas', but Cabela's is completly nasty. I counted twenty-three moose. :P Seventeen bears (grizzley, black, and polar!). It's the worst store in history! :P

Animal testing is awful! I think that they shouldn't make materials that would need testing.

I think things should still be tested, just not on animals!! It's the best example of human snobbery you'll get! We always think we're better than everything else. WE'RE NOT!! Do animals clear-cut forests, kill when there is no need, treat the earth like giant garbage can, and just generally destroy the universe??? *eyes bulge* *cough, cough* Sorry. I'm not mad at anyone. Really. *grins sheepishly*

HORRIBLE!!!!!! My neighbor told me that she has a rabbit wrap. I was sooo mad at her, and her excuse was "It's already dead"!!!!!! And she's a smart girl who's into eco-friendly stuff!!! I just don't get it! Then the other day, she said she might have a mink, too!! Of course, she is an attention monger, so she might have just been saying she had them, but I dunno, she usually doesn't carry on about something that's not true...

What's a rabbit wrap? That was a little embarrassing! Please don't think I'm stupid!
(January 7, 2009 - 5:19 pm)
I think it's like a... Uhhh... *brain steams*

No, I'm sorry!!!!!! I wasn't very clear. I read a lot of books set a long time age, so I often forget that when I say stuff, most people don't know what I'm talking about. :) It's like a shawl, kind of, or in other words, and really wide scarf that you wrap around your shoulders. Oh, here, if it works, I'll post a photo of one!!!
