Raw City Home Lounge

My wife insists on proudly displaying a fully mounted, stuffed  grizzly bear which her great-grandfather supposedly killed  (with his barehands, yeah right…) in our  PROFESSIONALLY designed small living room.  Help me  convince her how bad this idea is.

Maite’: I say you’re just gonna have to bear with it.
Ahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaa!!!!   Whew…  Someone had to say it.

Daniel: Now that we’ve gotten past that bit of ugliness…  There is
really no place in good design, or any design, really, for the
aggrandizement of animal slaughter.  I say, donate it to a museum.
There’s honestly no compromise for me on this.  Respecting history is
one thing, but some traditions are best left in the past.

Maite’: I agree.  If it were less obtrusive, like a mounted marlin or
a set of stag horns, you MIGHT get away with it in a covered patio or
basement home theater.  But a full size grizzly?  Yikes…  A museum
it is.

Daniel: Right now, local natural history museums, school libraries,
inner city science centers, are all way under funded.  Send that beast
to a place where it can actually teach someone about conservation.
