Here is a tagline from an SCI promotion:
Make a Life-long commitment to protect your freedom to hunt. SCI is “First for Hunters and Second to None”…

You can go and see “a spectacular full mount of the extinct Passenger Pigeon.”
And in the Conservation area you can see “three of the five rhinoceros species including two full mounts of the white rhinoceros”.
