The practice of taxidermy is already pretty messed up. It’s essentially hunters saying “I wish the thing I just murdered was still alive… but in my living room.” 

One moment these creatures are living an idyllic life in the woods, and the next their corpse is decoration for a basement that reeks of beer. 

It’s an art form to stuff an animal and make it look like it did when it drew breath, an art form that truly takes practice and skill. And like any art form, there are amateurs who come along and think “How hard could it be?” These are their stories and their terrible taxidermies.
