The Humane Society of the United States has asked California State University trustees to investigate how many animals were killed to stock a proposed natural history museum at Sacramento State. In 2004 and 2006, the president of California State University, Sacramento, wrote to Tanzania’s director of wildlife seeking permission for two potential donors (an auto dealer and his wife) to hunt 84 different species (a number of them endangered) for a now-abandoned natural history museum. The auto dealer has stated that he and his wife killed a few dozen of the animals listed in the letters during two hunting trips to Tanzania.
