Apparently this photo (taken in New York, 1933) has been making the rounds lately, but it was new to me.
The disturbing nature of a giant elephant skin slab is compounded by the appearance that the elephant has literally just deflated; as if the insides merely evaporated.
In doing an “elephant skin” google search, I was faced with the grim reality that certain people feel entitled to wear the skins of exotic, endangered animals. Even more infuriating is the fact that exotic animals had to die for fashions this hideous.
People never cease to amaze me.

No, no, noooooo, you’ve got it all wrong. This is just a behind the scenes shot of the preparations for the 1951 Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade. Chill, dude.
