Troublesome Taxidermy

Taxidermy is when dead animals become frozen in time, like a creepy version of the circle of life. It’s like having your own zoo but with less feeding and cleaning. Taxidermy has been around for a while, but it’s not just for hunters or museums anymore. It’s becoming quite the trendy decor choice.

It’s still a niche industry, but it’s been growing in popularity over recent years. It’s estimated that around 100,000 animals are mounted yearly in the United States. Some people prefer traditional taxidermy methods, while others opt for more modern, ethically-sourced alternatives like animal replicas or 3D-printed animals. Personally, I hate them all equally!
