Dude, that statue fucking rocks! Gonna have to put that on the list of things to see next time I'm in the City.

Which probably won't be for a while yet because of, y'know, the global pandemic Locke and his wingnut buddies keep breathing new life into.

“a leopard [with] feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion.”

Um, what? Bear feet and lion mouth on a leopard would look like… a leopard. Ok maybe the paws of a bear are a little different but there are so many similarities to the snout of a lion and a leopard considering they’re closely related (felines). Even so, this statue does not even remotely fit that description. The paws are leopard paws, the mouth is very much the leopard mouth from art in that part of the world and the Bible said shit-diddly-squat about wings.

The issue with the statue is that it isn’t in the style of male European colonizers, but unadulterated Mexican culture.
