It's sad, but no different from boots, purses, belts, etc made from alligator skin or products made from leather. I'm not going off on a rant saying cows shouldn't be killed or anything, but it's pretty much the same thing. If you argue that "Well, tegus are pets!" just remember they're not pets all over the world. And cats and dogs are pets too... That doesn't seem to stop some people (*cough* Koreans *cough*... I'm Korean BTW, so not being racist ) If you read around some sites, you'll find that quite a bit of tegu skin is imported to the US. People will even eat tegus. Which isn't too surprising from the size of those legs and tails!

Anyways... I'm done for now... *shuffles feet*

Not that it really makes much difference but if you look at the add the item available is an antique from 1895.
