(1,725 posts)He was also a Doctor and belonged to the Safari International club and the Boone and Crockett club. Over the years he filled our house, cellar and office with trophies. I called it the "dead zoo"as a young girl. One bear he shot was displayed in the Museum of Natural History in N.Y. because it was so large and an award winning trophy. When he passed away, he left me some trophies but gave most away to other people. (Thank Goddess.) He also "murdered" an elephant and brought home tusks and had foot stools made out of it's feet and also an cocktail tray. He had it's penis (inside bone)made into a cane. He killed a walrus and I have an "ozic" large club like bone from it's penis. I have earrings and bracelet also made from that bone and he had half of the animals mounted to display on walls. He killed a polar bear and my brother has that rug. He killed a lion and had it's testicals made into cocktail cups. He killed a tiger and a leopard (I have those mounts) and I've named them Cleo and Anthony and they are positioned in my house looking out the window to the lush backyard for them to "look" at. We love and honor them.( Doc didn't like me or cats because I didn't like his murderous hunting). He killed and had trophies mounted of a Musk Ox, kangaroo,water buffalo, seal, moose, caribou, elk, 3 zebras, an iguana, many antler bearing animals, a mountain goat and too many more to mention. As a child, I was forced to watch 16 millimeter films of the many "hunts' and how they took their skins off. I still have nightmares, especially now with these 2 other trophy hunting doctors in the news. We were forced at dinner to eat some of these animals' meat. I haven't eaten any meat in 39 years. I hope those doctors are sent to prison in Africa for a long time. I hesitated in writing all this but I needed to express my disgust for trophy hunting.
