Taxidermy Brought to Life in Amazing Photos | Exposure

Keeping the beauty of the animals instead of burying it

[@Lilacdaze77]

I used to think taxidermy was creepy but now i have learned to appreciate it. I really wanted to stuff my dead dog but I know I will have to freeze him and send him to usa to be stuffed because there isnt a taxidermy place in my country, sadly I can't afford that. I love my boy so much but age got him, I still miss his smell and his soft fluffy fur. I would give anything to have him back.. :'(

I think that as long as an animal dies naturally without being hunted, or in the case of a pet who was in so much pain had to be put down, I think it's okay then to be able to have this done. And to the people saying that "go to a zoo" you can't see a freaking extinct animal in a zoo, and some zoos mistreat their animals, or they have no zoo near where they live so they go to a museum. Taxidermy is sometimes considered creepy, but some people just want to be able for people to see an animal that might not be around one day, or in the case of pets, they want the comfort of their best friend still being there. It's weird in ways, but to them it's not.

So why can’t I taxidermy an animal I hunt? You’re telling me that you’d rather me throw the hide away after harvesting the meat instead of putting it to use or preserving it as art?

The Girl With The Platypus Hat what's wrong with hunting?

Too many crybabies in the comment section

If you hunted the animal for food and ended up having a really memorable time, then why not preserve the skin to remember the adenture? As long as you use every part possible.

I just can't stand it when hunters mount their kills on the wall like a sick trophy. But if it's not a killed trophy & more out of respectful remembrance or scientific preservation it's okay. I used to draw & paint the taxidermied animals in the Chicago Field Museum exhibit all the time. It's a good option when there aren't resources for a giant well-managed zoo. I think keeping a taxidermied pet is super creepy, but at least it has loving intentions & the animals weren't killed. I'd say let the pets return to the earth, old photos & videos are good enough. But that's me..

Nice collectio

I don’t mind respectfully done taxidermy, like he describes in this video. And if hunters are respectful of it I don’t mind either, like you know they can take the meat for food and preserve the skin or body. And sometimes people take animals that died by natural causes or perhaps from an accident and do taxidermy on it, it’s like they’re making it beautiful again and respecting it.

yeah, keep an open mind, but it's also important to acknowledge that none of these reasons really justifies the killing of these animals. you mention that some of them died of natural causes, but you also MUST acknowledge that many were killed in order to taxidermy them.

[@TheFinnMovies]

ho2cultcha the elephants for example were killed decades ago. But thats how things worked back then.

This is sad

[@Sal3600]

ARE YOU FUCKS STUPID?

[@banbanmumani]

agree..:(

[@sophieye7344]

hidde meurs it's not, because animals that are stuffed die naturally, and the taxidermists just stuff their bodies, like to remember them or something.
