We had a taxidermy deer head in my old apartment. The eyes would creep me out, so I just put some sunglasses and a funky hat on him and problem solved.

the restoration was so beautiful, and a great way to honor a pup so loved by her community. i hope they keep her inside now.
I love how this talented artist took so much care and still referred to her by her name and called her a she. Total respect. 💞
I am 11 years old,and I have been interested in taxidermy recently. When I'm older I want to be a taxidermist, it can sound "weird" or "gross" for my age but I find it so interesting! I'm not sure how to tell my parents this they might think it's gross.

I guess it's less of a concern for a taxidermy from the 1990s but for anything older (especially if the taxidermy is an antique), I hope she's careful about arsenic (which was extensively used in taxidermy to help preserve and protect it from pests until a few decades ago).

@@Eepop_stuffs ain't nothing right about taxidermy in the least bit. Would you want your dead body propped up for display? If so at least you can say so. Nobody asked that dog if it wanted to be a decoration in a gas station window, but out of their own selfishness and/or inability to accept death they chose to not allow this dogs physical body to return to nature. Let me ask you this.. How do you feel about Ed Gein making his mothers corpse into something she could be remembered by after she died? Was that also a beautiful art installation.. Or was it the work of a psychotic person who couldn't process death and decided to take matters into his own hands? Taxidermists are the Ed Gein of the animal kingdom.

@@FunkyJabroni Meh, you're really projecting your own subjective views and values over remains onto animals and looking at it from a very human perspective. Most animals care little (if at all) about their remains or the remains of someone they cared about (it's not them anymore). Even when jt comes to other people, many have very different opinions than yours on the matter (you can't even speak for humans in general on the matter, let alone speak for animals on the matter).

Personally, I think the opposite. Mounting a pet is full of love and emotions and helps kind of “freeze them in time,” but mounting a deer you killed just feels like using the body as trophy which in my opinion is kind of disgusting.

For one there's nothing wrong with taxidermy. For another there's actually a lot of states where you can't bury pets and there aren't places to, so your general options are cremation where you keep the ashes or letting your pet be cremated with other animals and not having the ashes. Some people want more of their pets.
