Sample letter:
=============
To whom it may concern

We the undersigned, protest against the crass name of your shop - claiming that your trade in skins of exotic animals and the taxidermy of exotic animals is 'Art by God'.

You also claim that you can fulfil and client's desire. One can logically infer from this that a call goes out - find it - hunt it down, if not readily available.

The global awareness as to the sanctity of wildlife, and man's duty to preserve same is an ethos which obviously does not fit in with your trade.

We respectfully ask you to rename your shop to a more honest description; an example would be 'Sale of exotic skins and taxidermy'.

An alternative would be to find another means of earning a living - and respect the Art of God - by not peddling the products of hunting / culling / trapping.

Thank you for your time.

Thanks for posting this, Eureka!

Claudia, thank you for signing "Tell shop that stuffed wildlife and skins is NOT art by God!"

Thursday July 30, 2009, 2:24 pm
this art of god? more like trophies of suffering.

Thursday July 30, 2009, 2:25 pm
Signed with comments, Eureka-and forwarded on.

What a blatant crime to commit before the world-displaying the remains of these precious creatures, thus. Have you no sense of the value of this life? Shame on your shop and your soul or lack thereof.
Do you think that their claim' to fulfil any client's desire re exotic species is contra to our world ethos of protection for wildlife?
Your clients should be ashamed as well-reducing these animals to such anonymous masses of flesh and fur.

The art of God belongs on the back of His creatures not making money for some commercial enterprise having been stolen from that creature in the first place! Only animals should wear fur, their own! Only elephants should wear Ivory, their own! Tiger's penis should remain with tiger, inadequate male humans should use viagra, rabbit's foot should stay on rabbit's leg Rhino should keep it's horn etc etc etc! The last wholesale plunderers of art were the Nazis!

Although I am chiefly a Human Rights activist, I have come to learn that there is little difference between animal and human rights.

The sanctity of ALL life must be respected.

Thursday July 30, 2009, 2:50 pm
You know a PETA stunt of pouring red paint all over this shop comes to mind here. I can't believe the audacity of their name! It must be an affront to anyone who believes in God.

Chris B, well said. Maybe there are some Floridans here who belong to PETA - hey guys and gals - give it a go PLEASE!!

And thank you to all who are signing. Please take a second too to send emails now. Petitions take a long time - and flooding their inboxes with our disgust may just give them a wake-up before the petition is sent.

Thursday July 30, 2009, 2:51 pm
Carole, big thank you for signing - I know you are a human rights activist in the main - but as you so rightly say animal abuse and human abuse are twins.

Thursday July 30, 2009, 2:57 pm

A gross thought, but (at least to my mind, appropriate) -- Would you want to see your grandma for sale as a rug?

Thursday July 30, 2009, 3:06 pm
Mandi, thank you for signing.
This is sick.
Tx Eureka hun

Thursday July 30, 2009, 3:18 pm
No I don't want to see my grandma as a rug! I also don't want to see any animal as a rug. Right on Carole.

Thursday July 30, 2009, 3:34 pm
This sort of practice opens the door to more wanton abuse towards critters, period!

Thursday July 30, 2009, 3:51 pm
Willfully ignorant scum.

Thank you, Eureka. Petition signed and will send an e-mail.

If it were truly "ART BY GOD",then the animals would be alive in their own habitat not disected and paraded around.Disgusting.

Thursday July 30, 2009, 9:27 pm
Thanks Eureka, good petition!

Thursday July 30, 2009, 11:16 pm
Thanks to all who are making this public knowledge of this vile and puke form of trade.Being in this store made very so furious and ill that i needed time to control my anger.Special thanks to Eureka for posting it and helping create more aggressive impact.Hope Peta and WWF or any other animal groups can join us with our protest.Lv you all for your support Roseann s

Friday July 31, 2009, 1:42 am
Thanks Eureka, petition signed and will send an email. Here is another example of a business using religious references to sell its wares - wares that, yes, come from works of God and Nature first but are stolen and reduced to objects for money. God must be turning away His face in horror.

thanks! i signed the petition. the real "Art of God" is when the animals wear the fur themselves. not the humans

Friday July 31, 2009, 3:26 am
Rosean also created a petition about this issue. Did not realise it until after I had posted mine. IInitially received it as a forward from a care2 friend. Rosean I've signed your petiiton too. The more these people are hammered the better. Florida is in the news quie a bit lately - the cat killer, the horse killing, and now this shop. Seems like this state is going to hell in a basket - and at great speed. - No offence meant to my Care2 friends who are from Florida.

Thank you everyone for signing - and please keep on sending the emails. As I said before - petitions take a long time to reach target - and in the meantime this so-called 'Art of God' shop making profits off the deaths of wildflie will just merrily continue.... Lets make their email lives a living hell.

AGAIN - THANK YOU EVERYBODY.

The Guy's who own this shop are a bunh of sickos.I hope they gomoutn of buisness soon.

Animals are art forms and God made. The only stuffing they should have is their food! It is insulting to God to think that a man can do a similar job.
Signed, noted and emailed.

Friday July 31, 2009, 5:32 pm
This is the lowest form of human behaviour by defiling the word of God to peddle the remains of tortured animals.More like 'art by mass murderers'!

Friday July 31, 2009, 9:38 pm
I have walked into shops like that before and it makes my whole body hurt, like a giant headache, I can only guess it is the animals spirits crying out in pain. Somebody make them stop the horror of this evil place!. These ARE the type of sickos who would skiin grandma and throw her on the floor, or stuff her and mount her. Karma, karma, karma is a dish best served cold...I'll wait.

Saturday August 1, 2009, 7:57 am
How vile and evil. The animals were the art of God when they were created, alive and breathing. Now they have been destroyed by these sick thugs. Why is this place continuing to be allowed to trade? Is Miami devoid of animal welfare laws? What about the federal laws? Surely it is illegal to trade in species protected by CITES? Why is there no enforcement?

Monday August 3, 2009, 9:36 am
Sorry, that wasn't very nice of me, but I really cannot believe any normal human would do something like this and then call it art!

Just found out that the Miami Herald has give this store artbyGod a glowing recommendation (may09) - It's disturbing that a national newspaper would approved this vile and sick form of trade.Where is their moral and
corporate responsibility to the buying public.?You should see the picture they used ' two hooves of a dead cow as cups for drinking in front of the article.If we allowed this newspaper to promote animal cruelty than we really not doing an effective job to stop unneccessary animals slaughter.Please this need attention -lv roseann

Friday August 14, 2009, 3:15 am
Thanks for the update. Roseann, could you get hold of an email contact list for this newspaper and post it here? We can then obviously write them - once we'vve got the email I'll do a 'sample' letter and flash it out to my friends list and at the groups.

Drinking out of a mug made from cow hooves... Dear Lord, I would probably vomit up all of my tea....

Thanks for keeping on this.
