I wanted a front tooth to use in a voodoo spell to curse the two brothers who caused her death.

It's a tool of education, all right. You take your kid and point to the miserable looking animals and say "see? Caging animals is mean. Never go here." Then you leave and go out for ice cream.

Brock, you have raised some interesting questions: Was Tatiana entitled to a Christian burial? Do Sicilian widows go to tiger funerals? Where is tiger heaven? What would William Blake say? What kind of educational experience is showing tiger bones to zoo visitors? Maybe, the curators could tell children: "See what happens to you when you bite someone!" Is a zoo really a tool of education?

If I recall correctly, for racehorses only a few body parts are kept for burial (the head, for one). The legendary Secretariat was one of a few racehorses buried whole, a special honor.

I was back home in Oklahoma City for the holidays and was told by my friend's girlfriend that Skulls Unlimited that they would be getting the skeleton for cleaning and reconstruction. I have no verification other than the person who told me was an employee of the business.
