wow, just wow. I read the article and was really surprised. Even when I read the elephant skin bag was not from illegal hunting, it still turned my stomach upside down. Well, even the calf leather is way beyond what I can afford, as I would like to get a new camera for half of that and still have to wait; so he can keep his bags be they calf, alligator or elephant skins or whatever else he can choose to offer. I can't even imagine running around with one of those and having to explain to everyone that it was legally obtained and that you really needed the durability. Really, do you? Anyways, I digress
