Souvenir Paradox: Head of an Endangered Deer

 Souvenir Paradox: 
Head of an Endangered Deer*
Dr Abe V Rotor

 
 Who is proud of having a souvenir - 
a head of a deer - on the wall?
Mirror of man's folly and cruelty, 
compassion if any at all.

* Native species in the Philippines: the endangered Visayan spotted deer (Rusa alfredi) and the Calamian deer, driven by unabated deforestation, agricultural expansion, and illegal hunting, these populations have shrunk to tiny fractions of their historic ranges. Internet
