“I have respect and love for wild animals and I hate to see them killed for no good reason”
How do you know there wasn’t a good reason? Dont assume that the were killed to sell their faces. Get the full facts

I’m surprised that they are called ‘faces’, surprisingly anthropogenic. I would like a badger face.

Truly revolting.

Also, what’s the economic incentive to de-face animals? $5 for that effort? Jeez.

I would bet (or atleast like to hope) that these faces come from animals that would have been hunted anyhow (legally for sport/control/food). Would it have been better to throw these pieces in the trash like any other legally hunted animal? Or is it better to utilize everthing that the animal had to offer instead of waste? There is a fine line here and I don’t think any of us can convict anyone else without knowing thier motives.

Why are fox, badger, and coyote faces cheaper than the other faces? What ARE the other faces?

I wish human faces were that cheap. At $5, I would definitely get a new face.

I have to admit, i’ve never seen a box full of faces before. It’s kind of fucked up, but at the same time bizarrely fascinating.

Jeff, this is really fucked up. I’m disappointed you bought that. Coyotes and foxes are such beautiful animals and seeing them this way makes me sick.

I’m not a vegetarian or a PETA zealot, but I have respect and love for wild animals and I hate to see them killed for no good reason. It’s even worse when people act like they are some kind of joke. Human interactions with animals will always walk a fine line between utility and cruelty, and I have no problem with people killing animals to eat them. But seeing this kind of disregard for the animal’s beauty and the fact that it was once a living being with thoughts and a will of its own… I don’t think despicable is too strong a word.
