It's not like I haven't skinned some muskrat ( they are just rats, really, no harm done to the rat population) for their furs, but cheetah? Nope. Why the hell have humans killed so many big cats for their furs? This car must not have been the only one out fitted in Cheetah... people suck.
Well,for too long certain animals were just a comodity and if they were'nt,they were vermin infringing and impacting on profitability on man's right to produce/farming etc.Hence the legal right to eradicate them.
ReplyDeleteEach marriage of the admirable Norah Docker (Lady Docker, formerly Callingham, formerly Collins, née Turner; 1906–1983) proved more lucrative than the last and she had the “Golden Zebra” (the last of the “Docker Daimlers”, a 1955 two-door FHC (fixed head coupé) with coachwork by Hooper, built on the existing DK400 (1954-1959) chassis) trimmed in zebra-skin, chosen because she found mink “unpleasantly hot”. Inside, the “African theme” included a dashboard of ivory while the external metal trim was gold-plated.
