On the one hand I'm against any cruelty towards animals but on the other hand I do eat meat and wear leather. But are stuffed animals a step too far? I guess there is a diferentation between just killing an animal to make a trophy out of it, or having a beloved pet immortalized. Although the latter also gives me the creeps.
But even tough I like the look of stuffed animals, I think that in their vicinity, I wouldn't feel quite comfortable and would soon begin to think that their little beady eyes were watching me.
So what do you think? Taxidermy, yay or nay?

I feel quite similarly. In styled photos and other settings I love the presence of taxidermy, especially birds and non-furry critters. Somehow I have yet to integrate anything of the sort into my home, but I also haven't sought it out...perhaps if I came across a piece smartly priced at an estate sale I'd be tempted.
Please post about it if you take the leap!
i'm fascinated by them too.... i think it's ok to buy them, but i would only buy domestic animals.
