Clever Recycling Strategy or Accurate Political Statement?

This is too good for me to leave alone. Apparently, Illinois's Miller Park Zoo is making its own Christmas ornaments .. out of reindeer crap .. and selling them for $5 each in the zoo's gift shop. Some folks are surprised at the size of the "gems," which are only about as big as marbles. "Reindeer are so big," zoo maintenance worker Sheldon Williams said. But the droppings are "just a big pile of small." Source.
