Many people, myself included, have a deep respect for all forms of life and
find
the killing of animals as a form of sport quite reprehensible. Some of your
students as well as their parents may also feel this way--so may I suggest a
still life using other, more traditional, objects such as flowers, fruit or
found objects which would provide adequate variety for your drawing lessons.

Best wishes,
Joseph

Would you be opposed to a skull of an animal who died a natural death? I
have the skull of Bessie, the pet cow of a friend. He is happy my students
draw her. Melissa
