Before better weapons, North American aborigines used to run thousands of bison over cliffs so as to secure a few for hides, meat, sewing materials and decorations. They really were more concerned with survival than conservation and preservation. No need to chase down dinner, just be smarter than the animal.
And they wasted A LOT! A HELL of a lot.

Some tribe actually believed that game animals were coming from the underground through a cave and that they were not just practically, but literally inexhaustible. So much for the 'ecological Indian who lived in perfect harmony with nature'. :rolleyes:

Huh. Female bulls aren’t a thing? Well, shit. That explains the single udder, the weird thick milk consistency, taking fooooorever to fill the milk bucket, and her being inordinately excited to see me every morning for the daily milking. I’m going to have to have some words with the guy who sold Bessie to me.

Damn! Forgot saddles, reins and other horse accoutrement. And chafing gear for sailors. Messenger bags, purses! Sheaves. Used to be grips for golf clubs, but no one does that anymore. Patches for the professor's tweed jacket. Dog leashes!
A leather dog leash is the dumbest idea ever. Even if I used leather.

so you’re naming items needed in 1880?

They are rare. Hence the "necessity?" for velveteen. I've not seen one in the wild myself. I've only heard anecdotes. They may be nearing extinction. As pipe smoking became available to the masses and indulged in publicly, the demand for velvet smoking jackets diminished. A zoo in Lower Dagnabistan has a pair I believe. Sorry, I don't know if they are a breeding pair. Sopmeone was going to ask!

I used wikipedia.. I wasnt sure, thought maybe I had to try and find another place in my heart to feel sorry for the poor Velvets.. haha along with the baby seals, the snow leopards, and the man eating polar bears.

People have chosen some pretty ghoulish materials in the past.. Cat gut, beaver penis toothpicks, amber geris, Coachella bugs for food dye.. the list goes on.
