Taxidermy WTF is it all about? Anyone know what exactly is involved and why people would want to do such a thing? What is used to stuff the roadkill and what happenes to the innards? Theres serious laws about moving / disposing of hazardous waste, surely these people dont all have the correct waste licenses applicable for this? It seems like the first steps to becoming a Jeffery Dahmar tribute act to me... Not normal behaviour! What is the attraction I just dont get it?      |

A bloke who lived next door to me used to do it, he used to pick up roadkill and take it home, he would often have a row of animal skins hanging on his washing line after he had tanned them (or whatever it is they do, IIRC he used to soak them in formaldehyde), he used to sell them after he had stuffed them and he made more selling each one than he did in his full-time job as a hospital porter, he reckoned it took about ten hours to do each one. They were good though, proper Natural History Museum quality pieces.

They are bloody scary indeed. not the best i have seen,when done well and natural i like them.
I once had a near full grown red bellied piranha that died on me and i was going to get it stuffed as had it for years, i kept it int he freezer for a year before it was to late to do i was told as it needs to be done within a certain time.
would love more, maybe some day.

Anyway as soon as I mentioned this thread to Jeff, he remembered this from That’s Life of his childhood.

I maybe should have had Molly stuffed cos one of my sons tried telling me to-day that when I move she's go to be dug up and re buried...
the other son told me Ive got to dig up his oak tree and replant.....
these will be the 2 sons who don't want me to sell....

Selling our house 10 years ago, grandspawn no 2 age 14 accused us of selling his heritage. Grandspawn no 6 aged 5 overheard a conversation about this and wanted to know why we were selling Josh's Hairy Tidge!

I told my children there will be zilch to inherit when they were 10-12 year olds and ziltch for propping up uni boozing and no chance of a mortgage deposit. I feel it helps them to know where you they stand.
It worked on both of them really. One works hard and earns ok, the other is extremely frugal. They've never asked for money, not even a tenner.
