Who can get me Moose hair?

Don't ask why, just tell me you can get enough to reasonably replace the stuffing in say a cheap puffy down jacket.

If you wanted poop I’d be the guy to talk to. They crap in the yard all the time. Sometimes I see tufts of hair from where they bed down. But not much.

Call a taxidermist and see if he has any leftovers.

Call a taxidermist in your area.

I had a need for feathers many years ago for a cub scout project. I forgot about Hobby Lobby but I called a taxidermist. He said it would be illegal for him to sell me any but when I said it was for scouts he told me to come by and he'd give me some. He worked out of his house and it had a strong Silence of the Lambs vibe.

Is this for a potion you're brewing?

No moose hair here, but I can get some mouse hair on occasion.

Sorry, forgot I posted this last night.

Backstory.

My daughter has lived comfortably, not spoiled by any means but not really wanting for much either.

Her group of friends at school have had it a bit tougher than her.

Recently they were all on a Zoom call and she mentioned Mom and Dad were in the movie room and they ragged on her as poor little rich girl with her own movie theater in the house.

When she went back two weeks ago to her new apartment I sent her with a car.

I nearly bought her an older Black and Gold Escalade just so when I met her roommates I could tell them I was leaving them a car we found in the garage that we forgot we had and apologize for it being a bit dusty.

I'm a bit of a dick dad.

My daughter and her friends have this thing about Canada Goose jackets.

They think they are preppy and pretentious.

So I wanted to make her a Canada Moose jacket.

Grab one of those cheap nylon puffy jackets and replace the poly filling with Moose Hair and make up a quick brand patch.

It sounded funnier last night after a bottle of wine.

But I may still do it.

hahaha! I'm waiting for pics!

If you had a little more wine, you could get the moose hair yourself. Just sneak up on one with a pair of clippers at night when they are asleep! It'd be like a party prank. The moose would wake up the next day with one bald butt cheek, he'd be embarrassed and swear off cheap wine.

hahaha and I'll bet that your daughter does the eye roll thingy about your stories! What in the world would your daughter do with a Canada Goose Jacket in the south, other than fashion and.... reminds me of all the arm candy on Westheimer wearing their fur coats in 65 degree weather. For all that matters, go get some horse hair and call it moose hair... ticks and all.

It is out of your hands: You have an obligation to see this through.

Just make sure everyone knows that no Moose was hurt in the gathering of said hair. That would be a freak show.

We faced this a little bit when my Arden was a junior in HS. We bought her a used FJ Cruiser for a very good price. Little bit of roasting but 12 years later she is still driving the same car. Some of her friends are on car three.

Screw the moose. Go to a barbershop and ask for a days worth. Nobody will care/know the difference.

Or a dog groomer.

Good idea. Love the humor.

13-ton shipment of human hair, likely from Chinese prisoners, seized
Anchor Muted Background
By Allison Gordon

Updated 1:18 PM ET, Thu July 2, 2020

(CNN)A 13-ton shipment of beauty products such as weaves suspected to have been made out of human hair was seized on Wednesday by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers at the Port of New York/Newark.

According to the CPB, the shipment originated in Xinjiang, China, signaling potential human rights abuses of forced labor and imprisonment. The products were worth over $800,000 dollars.
Xinjiang is an autonomous rural region in the northwest of China and home to roughly 11 million Uyghurs, a predominantly Muslim ethnic minority with a distinct culture and language. Until recently, there were many more Uyghurs in Xinjiang than Han Chinese, the ethnic majority that makes up the rest of the country.
The US State Department estimates that over one million Uyghurs have been detained in a massive network of internment camps in Xinjiang, where they are reportedly "subjected to torture, cruel and inhumane treatment such as physical and sexual abuse, forced labor, and death
