 Post subject: Coyote Fur (Macro)

Snaps:

I thought I'd make things a little more interesting by seeing if someone could guess what I took a picture of before I change the title. This game could turn into a habit. Don't worry, if no one figures it out I'll give out the answer in a week.

=================================

I started taking some close up pictures of things since they always offer an interesting perspective. The fur seemed to have an interesting effect on the walls when the flash went off, made it looks like strange vegetation.

You beat me to it! That was also my guess. Either that or some weird grass...

Looks like the tip of a dandelion or a cats fur.

Btw, if someone guesses right, are you going to post sooner, or still like a week?

I feel like I've posted this days ago. Apparently it was just yesterday afternoon. Those who said it was animal hair would be correct. It's coyote fur trimming from my uncle's coat.

And before anyone jumps down my throat about fur is murder and the like, I would like to say when it is designed for the purpose of keeping someone warm in very cold conditions, it is difficult not to justify it. If you are going to use all of the animal, then there really is not a better way to put it to use than its original purpose. I'm sorry if I sound rather irate, it is because I have had to deal with a number of people who try to force their logic on me with little reasoning or alternatives. If you'd like to discuss the matter in a new topic however, we can share views about it.

Honestly I have not that much of an issue of someone wearing fur. The issue I have is when someone wastes everything, just to mount it on a wall. Indians used to hunt wolves and deer and buffalo to keep warm and used all of them so nothing would go to waste. That's what true hunting is about, and using your own skills to hunt. That's my issue with hunting, if you want to take somethings life, give it a fair chance to take yours. Archery - No crossbows, but own strength and muscle holding the bow and letting the arrow fly, chasing down your prey, muscle to muscle. That way it's not so easy as pointing a muzzle in the general direction and pulling the trigger. Do I sound biased, you bet, being a therian gives me new appreciation to having your own strength and taking down your own prey.

Now admittedly cows, sheep, and all that I can't take down on my own, yet. I need practice, but in all fairness it is still dangerous for cowboys to raise herds of cows and they still do it the old way in some places. Using dogs to herd them and so on.

Just don't have a gaping hole and stick it on your wall or kill it in an unfair fight and I have no issues. :)
