Title: How could they promote Shatoosh?
Product review: I was happily reading this book and being amused by the little stories. Not really sure if any of it is applicable but I thought it was an entertaining read when I was stopped dead in my tracks with their promotion of shatoosh. Not only is this illegal (which they recognize with a 'shhh...it is available on the black market') but ignorant. The Chiru is going to be extinct because of the fashion demands for shatoosh which is made from the 'beard' hairs of this antelope. The Chiru are defined as being a 'very high risk of extinction in the wild in the near future." So for that - I cannot recommend this book. Driving an animal to extinction isn't 'swell' with me.
