Another dead animal!! What was up with these people?? Love the house though.....
ReplyDeleteI dont understand the "dead animal" questions? Times change. Women's hat makers probably single handely put a dozen species of birds into extinction. There was no sense of resources running out. Big game hunting goes back for centuries when Africa and Asia opened up to western travel for the well to do from the world over. Even locals hunted for trade and export without any consideration of depleting animal populations. So tastes change and times change. Few today decorate with bear skin rugs and wear seal skin hats and that's a good thing, but I dont mind seeing historical photos with animal skins everywhere. It documents an era that is delegated to the past.
