Today is my day to spend hour after hour perusing the thrift stores of the eastside. I love finding the lone, vintage Fiesta cup or the nifty mid-century modern lamp but today I came across something that just creeped me out. One of the places had a gorilla fur jacket for sale. Real, honest to goodness, gorilla fur. I wanted to cry! How very sad and WTF in the same thought. They said it was from "way back when" but just got it in. Isn't it against the law to sell endangered species? From what I could garner from the internet, the owner had to be in possession of the item prior to it becoming an endangered species or something or other. [[if that's the case, the store owner is in violation as they just acquired it) I know they can't sell it to someone outside of the country and no one can buy one and bring it into the country but ...eeewwwwwwwww. Anyone know the ifs and ands? Just wondering.
