http://www.treesandthings.com/story/2007/11/20/154718/20 When you think <a href="http://www.byu.edu/webapp/home/index.jsp">Brigham Young University</a> (BYU) you think Mormons or maybe football quarterbacks.  You don't think commissioning the slaughter of rare animals.  But this is exactly what BYU did.  A rare white rhino skin is destined to be mounted in <a href="http://mlbean.byu.edu/home/">the school's natural history museum</a>.  While this seems just peachy to the benefactor who killed the animal and BYU officials, it's <a href="http://o en-us Fri, 23 Nov 2007 07:59:14 EST Tue, 4 Dec 2007 17:43:46 EST http://www.treesandthings.com/story/2007/11/20/154718/20#5 but which one would you have to pay?

Rhinos will kill you if you give them chance. How do people think Audabon got those birds to hold still so he could paint portraits of them?
