Taxidermy animals gone wrong | Mail Online

I have yet to see the appeal of stuffed animals, let alone these ones.

    Creepy is the word I'd use for most of them.

    Well, if you THINK about it, a taxidermist has to be part mortician, part surgeon, part artist, and hopefully have documentation about the type of animal. I mean they have to rip it apart, fix wounds, replace some soft tissue, like eyes, stuff them, and sew them back together again and make them look majestic. THESE were probably done by some careless RANK AMATEUR! I would probably NEVER try it, but I bet **I** could do better tan most of that garbage!

      Having done taxidermy before, I'll take that bet.


      Usually I can tell what the taxidermist was trying to achieve.
      With the majority of those I'd say the achievement was showing they where idiots and untalented.
      I did like the mouse finger puppets and the squirrel with the six shooters.
      The mole slippers reminded me of the muskrat hat I made once.
      I tried to make it look like the muskrat was sitting on my head, didn't quite work.
      I also made one to look like the Davey Crockett coonskin hat, it looked more like a really bad wig made out of muskrat fur.
      My next hat was going to be a gray fox made to look like it was eating my head.
      I sold my taxidermy stuff instead.
