Accept no substitutes.

That picture doesn’t seem to be half as disturbing as Bert’s description of it.

Good taxidermy is an oxymoron.

All that we pick up when we look into its eyes is a sense that we should back away and an equally strong sense that, if we do, we’ll back into something similarly horrific.

Good taxidermy is very hard to find, so it looks like you’ve been lucky, Dan. A good taxidermist is able to arrange his victim in a posture that is perfectly wrong, close to being natural but distinctly not natural. I say “victim”, not “subject” or “animal” or something, because of course in proper taxidermy the animal is always left partially alive. All the motor functions are disconnected, but the animal is conscious and able to see FOR EVER. That’s the art of proper taxidermy – the entire life force of the animal screaming in silent agony is projected through its eyes directly to the viewer. They seem to scream “HELP ME! HELP ME!”, because that is exactly what they are screaming. That’s probably what you are sensing in the background, KC – the life-essence of the poor creature struggling in abject desperation to break free from the hell imposed on it by the taxidermist, which of course it NEVER WILL.

If you look closely at the photo you can see all of this. Look closely. LOOK CLOSELY. STARE INTO ITS EYES!

I hope that’s helped allay your fears of taxidermy. Happy Halloween.
