Hihi, nice idea to make differnet cabinets with your collections^^
And it's great that you try to make sure that you get all of your animals via morally ways.
I'm so interested in skulls and skeletons. As references for drawings and cause they look awesome and also always try to figurre out were they come from.

because sharks are one of my favorite animals im just not to fond of people fishing them, if they were farmed then thats ok. just my opinion but dont get me wrong im not the type of person who gets all crazy for animal rights and stuff like that

oh that's 100% understandable. The shark jaws I have came from a farm that raises them for food. I can't remember what variety of shark it is, but I know it's one of the much smaller type.
I always try and make sure the things I use in my cabinets were ethically obtained.

oh well if they were raised on a farm i have no problem with that. i just dont like it when all these fishermen hunt sharks for their fins or jaws and waste the rest.
