A Texas museum bought and killed two mules for the sole purpose of stuffing them for an exhibit, provoking the ire of animal rights activists. The American Museum of Agriculture in Lubbock, Texas, plans to construct a display for the McCormick reaper, a piece of mechanized equipment that revolutionized agriculture in the 19th century. But the museum didn't feel it would be complete without communicating that era's reliance on animal power as well. Board members decided to purchase two mules from a nearby horse and mule trader to kill for the exhibit.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
