Oops.

First of all, Brilliant. You started my day off with a heart laugh.
Second of all, the actual story creeps me out. Everyone is so relieved that it’s not a human hand but is okay with it being a bear’s paw. Seriously? There aren’t bears near Edmonton–and poaching bears is illegal.
Who is this bear hand stealer? Is he or she making jewelry from its claws? I want theEdmontonian to figure this out.
Heh hem,
My previous post *should* read: You started my day of with a heartY laugh. Not a heart laugh. I don’t know what a heart laugh is but I didn’t do it.
Didn’t you kind of want the taxidermist they interviewed to quietly ask “Did you guys find my paw?”
Also, get that heart laugh checked out.
A heart laugh? I’m worried.
Also… TOO SOON!
But it’s hilarious. I didn’t even see that coming.
I like how the taxidermist just throws bodies away in the trash–shouldn’t that be a bio-hazard of sorts?
Aren’t taxidermists supposed to keep animals intact? In my view, nothing demonstrates shoddy taxidermy more than missing appendages from animals on which they have plied their trade. God, what would a Montana’s commercial look like if these low standards are tolerated? A moose with no lower jaw uncontrollably salivating at the site of hickory back ribs with potatoes and beans, that’s what.
Part of me is saying “This is about time to shut down comments on this story.” But the other part of my wants to see where this is going to end up.
Also, Fletcher, are you monitoring this? You should follow up on the discarding of taxidermy waste.
Ryan, if you ever run for office, “Battling Shoddy Taxidermy” had better be part of your platform.
