"Guilt-free" is a paradox to "living in your own private Idaho."

The elephant to whom this foot originally belonged went on a rampage in the city, so the then-king of Bangalore shot and killed it, before turning it into furniture for Bangalore Palace.

It's strange how you can buy silk flowers or artificial flower's but I have never seen "guilt free" flower's for sale? Some will claim you can't tell the difference. Oh, yes you can. Just as you can tell the difference between pleather/leather, artificial sweetener/sugar, margarine/butter, soy milk/cow's milk, or "bloodless" fur coat/ sable fur coat. You can buy ostrich boots easily, but try to find a pair of elephant boots. Instead of looking, you might consider sting ray, where you can even chose male or female. You can raise and eat cows, goats, sheep, pigs, buffalo, deer, chickens, ducks, turkeys, rabbits etc., but you can't raise and eat a horse!!!!! It's impossible to even ship them someplace else, for someone else to eat!!!! You can put a leather saddle from a cow on a horse to ride it, but you can't put a leather saddle from a horse on a cow to ride it!!!!!!! You can wear a leather coat from a sheep's skin, but you can't wear a fur coat from a fox's pelt!!!!!! If it is legally taken, or "found", and is not an animal that has been of service to man, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE!!!! A couple of years ago when the Kenyan President authorized the burning of millions of dollars worth of "stored" ivory, rather then selling it, the world watched and said, "you go, guy," and a couple of million starving Kenyan's watched and said, "are you shitting me?" How many American Veterans live below the poverty level? How many mothers and fathers have lost children? How many children have lost a mother or a father? Folks who gave their lives, so you could be free to be stupid and worry more about whether a dog or a lion is euthanized or has a nice place to live out his life!!!!! America's a taxing fool. Here might be a "good tax." For every dollar spent/donated to animal "rights", an equal amount has to be spent/donated to human rights. For every nitwit that want's to support an animal for life in a sanctuary, require them by law to also support a Veterans family for life. Free to make a "feel" good choice, free to make a "real" good choice. It's a no brainer, and something that Born Free, Peta, ASPCA has taught us is very affective. It is just like their methods of getting there agenda done. It is called the "carrot and the stick method." They lobby to pass their agenda into law, and endorse the government entity that does. They lobby to pass their agenda into law, and boycott the government that doesn't.
