I Am Going To Hunt Coyote

yep wasn't sorry to see her go.

i was more afraid they were harvesting roadkill. i'm sure most animal lovers would get upset if this was a hunted animal. & farm raised coyote-um.....why farm raise?!? there's enough of them running wild!

the only way i think that hunting it would make it ethical is if you were to eat the meat & use every bit you could in other ways with low amount of waste.

I am afraid I have to disagree with you here. This must be a stupid overpriced item, but at least there is a use for the coyote fur. Hunting it? Ethical? Eat the meat? Nope. Shoot the darn things. They are all over the place here. If it weren't for our Great Pyrenees, we wouldn't have any sheep or chickens left. Dead coyotes don't go to waste, they feed buzzards.

For the past 10 years hanging in the back of my closet is my grandmother's most prized possession. Leopard skin coat, I could not throw it away and always felt not right to sell. Leopards where never farmed always poached from wild. Because of ts age is league to sell, worth a small fortune. Think I will make pillows out of coat.

Is there any way the coat can be considered in the same light as old ivory? That is exempt from the current regulations because of its age and the different cultural mores when it was first 'harvested'.

Not a coat I'd want to wear myself, but worth the inquiry, IMHO.

Yes Red it exempt because of age. I think it from 20s or 30s when every chic woman had one. My grandmother was a runway model for a NYC furhouse. I think t might have followed her home. I have a client who deals in fur coats, her eyes got large when I told her about coat. She said if I ever want to sell let her know. Almost all photos I have my grandmother is wearing coat.

@Nyboy i see no sense in letting it just get dusty/decayed if you can't wear it anyways. now recycling an old fur coat for a project like this sounds ethical to me! do you have a piece of furniture that would look nice with a leopard print top?

Bay, you have a very good point about the 'recycling' of a dead coyote to the buzzards. isn't that what they call the circle of life?

 

[Nyboy]

Chickie I like that idea even better, a chair or maybe a stool

As the famous line "It's too late to set them free." Use the skins however you want.

Lets not forget the ants, they do clean up work too!

@Nyboy just phone your friend and sell her the coat. I am sure it is beautiful and better for it to be worn as intended than cut up for upholstery.
