laws regarding animal products are in a constant flux responding to populations and pressures. Anyone owning any animal pelt, skull etc. should establish physical proof of A. provenance B. date of acquisition. A rhino horn dagger brought home by a greatgrandfather in the Great War for example. Do you have a photograph of him in uniform standing next to T.E. lawrence wearing it? Is it listed in any insurance documents, estate inventories, wills? To buy a contemporary rhino horn product today is unconscionable. To make historical artifacts cultural pariahs only makes past use an abstraction. I had a coyote pelt, skull and examples of the infamous 'coyote/wolf getter' poison traps that were so horribly indiscriminiate. I used these materials to help educate people about the coyote. I had my share of PETA activists who demanded I destroy the assembly. One day I received a call from Fish and game. One of the students I spoke to found AN ENTIRE CASE of these lethal and now banned spring devises in her grandfather's barn. Nobody knew what they were anymore, or their potential danger. My assembly is now publicly displayed at the local parks office.
