YES!

And what made you want to do that, I wonder.

i'm glad you ask, because i wanted an excuse to explain why. the 'why' is usually the most important part. this might be a longer explanation than you were looking for though, heh.

it's for the same reason that i'm a vegetarian.

i love animals. i like trying to understanding them spiritually/functionally/biologically/socially.

i've wanted to use/have animal skulls, a good big bird skull specifically, for a while. to use in art and as reference for drawing. there are a lot of people who sell them to anyone for cheap, but i don't want to buy something like that from some random stranger. i try to avoid buying or selling any animals or parts of animals if it can be avoided - more often than not it perpetuates the killing or mistreatment of more living things. that can go as far as pets, meat, etc.

and i am a scavenger of all things. so when i saw a dead raven on the side of the road, i couldn't let it go to waste.


it sat in a freezer for a while until i could get the knowledge [and guts] that i needed to do anything with it.. well, now i have its skeleton.

Congratulations. Are you proud?

I'm interested! I both enjoy and detest guts :'I
