way to appreciate it, no? T.R. was a trophy hunter and an amateur taxidermist. He "loved" the animals he killed ... but he still killed them. I think that's a hard notion for people to wrap their heads around these days. Part of it was again the cultural wisdom of the time -- one thing "outdoorsmen" of the day favored was eliminating predatory animals to increase the herds. Of course, it looks like that view still prevails among some in Alaska.
