Theodore Roosevelt Statue Outside American Museum Of Natural History Will Be Removed

[ny_quant]

The statue was meant to celebrate Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) as a devoted naturalist and author of works on natural history ... An avid conservationist and big game hunter, he is perhaps best known for his environmental legacy: He expanded the National Parks System and established 150 national forests, five national parks and 51 federal bird reserves, according to the U. S. Department of the Interior. After his presidency, Roosevelt with his son Kermit mounted an East African big game expedition to hunt and collect hundreds of scientific specimens for the Smithsonian Institution collections, including a white rhino, which today is exhibited at the National Museum of Natural History.

That's easy to achieve by blinding yourself.

I thought you would suggest a guillotine. All fine methods but not without certain drawbacks.

I thought that, preferring to communicate in English, you know it well enough to do it competently.

Hint:

blind (verb) ... to make sightless permanently,temporarily, or momentarily

I don't think the expression to blind yourself means losing your sight temporarily.

If you knew that "to blind" could mean losing your sight temporarily, why would you choose to take it in a meaning which is unfavorable to you?
