The Yakutsk Government has an annual auction of mammoth tusks and bones and invites both Russians and Foreigners to bid on their mammoth tusks. They even have Press Releases in advance to advertise the annual auction. The sale of mammoth tusks is a legal, government run and sanctioned, for-profit enterprise.

It is more about the degradation of conditional rights that are chiseled piece by piece as you fluff your comment flippantly without research on this certain reality.”

How about, it is illegal for pompous government bureaucrats and narrow scoped members of the scientific community to arrest our personal citizen rights! Stand back and close you eyes to what remains of our hard earned citizen’s illusions.’ “I am infuriated to the degree that bureaucrats will go to cage its citizens for their flagrant misuse of self imposed powers.” “What next? How about another revolution for reclaimed rights lost to illegal government officials and those of the scientific community…stay home now people and watch Saturday night football and look the other way while you are drafted into policies that take your constitution and replace it with toilet paper”

Russia especially has strict laws on what you can and can’t take out of the country, especially when it’s such a precious region-specific national treasure as the bones of an extinct animal.

Government wanted a piece of everything these day. Tax this, tax that. License this license that. There are no moral left.
