Sure Do Love Going To The ER So Often. Was Here Less Than Three Months Ago. Guess I Probably Wont Be

Sure do love going to the ER so often. Was here less than three months ago. Guess I probably won’t be going to work tomorrow… or later today, I guess.

Umm. Why are there taxidermy bats on Amazon?! Bats are a protected group of animals, meaning that the only place you should be able to find taxidermy of them is museums. The fact that they’re on Amazon means that Amazon is selling illegally obtained animals, likely poached. Sellers will claim that they “found” a bat and decided to turn it into a taxidermy piece. That’s bullshit.

I’m not surprised that Amazon is selling illegal items, it’s just awful that they’re selling taxidermy of animals that are legally protected.

Do NOT buy these items. If you want a bat, please just buy a plushie. It’s legal and doesn’t encourage poaching.

Slight correction: Not every bat species has legal protections, but Amazon didn’t specify what species was being sold.

cool ship concept for arospec/aroacespec characters: don't

These practices are very disruptive and destructive for a wide variety of aquatic creatures.
