  boone trading co.

  The link in the original article goes to Boone Trading Co. in Washington.  As a carver of bones myself, I have purchased from them and have even visited their location in the rainforest of the Olympic Peninsula.  I can attest that they are very strict when it comes to abiding by all local and international laws pertaining to their products and raw materials.  

  No need to vilify this particular company.  The issue in this particular case is cut and dry - not one of selling within the law, but one strictly of ethics.  I doubt that all companies are as thorough.

  life is life

  
  The use of it by animal rights activists to describe the killing of a farm animal is demeaning people.
  It puts farm animals on the same level as my children.

  ...and your assertation that your children are somehow a higher life form than farm animals is demeaning to animals everywhere.  I can't see how your offspring are any more or less important than mine, a cow's, or a turnip's.

  The distress of a cow mom at the death of her child is not somehow less valid than yours would be just because you can express it in words.  

  Get over it.  We're all animals.  And we all must consume other life to continue our own, be it plant, fungi, or animal.On Can you 'murder' a chicken? posted 3 years, 2 months ago 25 Responses
