Every animal, fish and bird, bone, skeleton, skull, etc. that we obtain comes from a carefully selected set of sources that not only meet all current ethical harvesting standards and laws, but also our very stringent standards for obtaining specimens. In short, all specimens that we use have either died from natural causes or have been legally hunted and donated to us. [NO living species have been hunted or killed for any project Bone Ship Studios produces. We do not, in any way, condone the killing of any species for reasons of profit]. We at Bone Ship Studios have the utmost respect for all living creatures and will only accept their remains if our strict guidelines have proven to be met.
