Taxidermy is the preserving of an animal's body via stuffing or mounting for the purpose of display or study. Wikipedia Definition
As I walked through the "Ripley's Believe it Or Not" Museum in New York City; I came across this interesting display. It makes me think of a scene from the movie "Dinner for Schmucks."
A Taxidermy Exhibit
I do think taxidermy is an art - but I don't think it's right to kill endangered species for this kind of art. Unlike the movie not all animals that are made into taxidermy pieces died from natural causes.
Opinion - to each their own.
