    You pose an interesting, yet potentially controversial question. I’m like waste not, want not. People are gonna eat meat, whether you think that’s ethical or not. So, why waste the hides?

    I grew up in a town filled with hunters, though I wasn’t exactly much of a hunter myself. Though I did go out with them a couple times around age 13, and we killed, cooked and ate a couple rabbits.

    What my elders taught me, is if you hunt, don’t do it for sport, you better eat what you kill. And if at all possible, don’t let anything go to waste.

    And that’s about when I was taught to preserve animal hide with borax and dry curing.

    Recent events starting the new year are not good nor funny though, it was almost certainly (investigation ongoing though) related to the New Orleans attack.

    Apparently the Cybertruck that exploded had fireworks and fuel tanks inside, and the truck itself was rented from the same Turo app. They highly suspect it was another act of terrorism, no fault of the Cybertruck itself.

    As much as I thought this would end up being a meme, if it does, it’s not a good one. As Billy Joel said, “We didn’t start the fire”, well let’s not try to spread the fire either.

    If anything, share the link I posted from Adam Mockler, keep up with the news, watch out for yourself, friends, family and neighbors, and let’s all please try to have a good new year.

    Edit: Added Adam Mockler’s link to his reporting on the New Orleans tragedy.
