Taxidermy auction in Texas

[438MillionBC]

There is a disgusting, deplorable, vile (I could go on for days) taxidermy auction being held in Ft. Worth Texas. I live pretty close to this area, and from the research I have done, it appears that NO steps to stop it or even protest it are being taken, and although I only found out about it today, I still feel that it is my responsibility to do SOMETHING.

Here is the information:

Notice that they are selling murdered ELEPHANTS along with a array of other precious animals. ****ing sickening.

Sorry for the late notice, but like I said, I just found out about it today. Also, I found out as it was being SUPPORTED in the Star Telegram newspaper.

I will send them an email. I really can't see any justification for auctioning off taxidermied endangered species. Honestly, that's pretty low. And I'm kindof surprised that it's legal. It would make more sense to donate it to a museum or something like that. Things like this make me sad because I grew up in Texas and I really loved it, but it's definitely not a pro-veg state yet.
