I was on a recognizance mission with my beautiful friend Dawn Ann Billings…. to check out her new home in Red Lodge, Montana. While in town…. we spied a coyote head purse. A real live coyote head was taken and made into a purse! At first I was absolutely horrified…. Until I realized I had brought my Beverly Hills belief system to Montana. This really was the wild west. When I asked the store owner what is was all about…. she explained to me that they don’t go out and kill the animals…. but rather they take coyotes that have died naturally or been killed by cars and use the fur. Much better than actually killing for fur. Any-hooo….. At that point I became very aware that I was a visitor in another land…. and when in Montana… I had to respect how they lived and their belief systems…
Moral of the story: Different lands (even in the United States) have different belief systems…. and when visiting foreign places who am I am to judge how other people live.
