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.
