Yes, you are right... How dare we humans take from Nature things like rocks, shells, bones to decorate our yards or make a museum for others to enjoy!
You should see all the stuff I don't take...

Really? Great... I took and shared the photos so you and EVERYONE else on the Internet also could see them.
Of the 2 dozen or so other bones in the one skelaton we left there, just took two... and the next trip, the remains were all gone... to the tide and /
or wind. So, those entire whale skelatons we see on display in various Baja locations are visible for education and enjoyment because they were
removed... otherwise, Nature would have taken them back out to sea or buried under the sand. |
classic DK. gave me my daily chuckle.

It wasn't a jaguar skull, I had to call US Fish & Game when I got home and the officer stated it was a "white tail deer", and not on anyone's
endangered list........ | Quote: | Originally posted by ursidae69

customs said I needed a permit from Mexico City to bring it into the USA, and I had to sign a statement that I was giving it up voluntarily and did
not know it was illegal to remove from MX without the permit... |
What a joke. Are there not more pressing issues to focus on? Our tax dollars hard at work. |
While the merit of this siezure could be debated, I disagree that it is a joke. There are various treaties and agreements we (The USA) have with
other nations concerning illegal trade of protected species and our border enforcement needs to do a better job of things and not take it lightly.
Just my opinion. |
I hear the whales song
