    I honestly admire her confidence with her craft, scrolling through the comments and though I found positive ones a lot of people decided it's disgusting to stuff an animal that has already lived it's life and passed on.
    Taxidermy is beneficial to our education as well, when an animal is preserved scientist's are able to study its body and learn more. Future generations are also able to see what the past had too offer, These people breathe (not literally) life into the creatures, and give people a sense of what these animals were like alive. Sure some put clothes on them or other stuff but that's their view on their work, and how THEY want it.
    And honestly, we've had human corpses shown in museums and put on display. Their called mummies, another corpse put on display for our so called viewing pleasure.
    I'm proud of this young lady who found her calling and what she enjoys, she encourages her students to do this in a proper manner. They don't just kill an animal for this, she only takes animals that died of natural causes.
    Say what you want but I wanna grow up at least knowing that when an animal goes extinct I can go to a museum that has it displayed and see what it once looked like.

      Art Alcoolique the internet can’t preserve the physical specimen. It’s important to have the actual animal because like they said in the video there are so many things we don’t understand still. To have access to a preserved extinct animal could be extremely beneficial to something in the future.

    Geez man, people are just judging her by the title of her job/ hobby. They assume she killed them on purpose, when really she just wants to turn them into something and honor them instead of just getting rid of their bodies. She didn't want the kittens to die, she wants to honor them and do something for them, since they died at an early age, she was literally crying, since she watched them die in her hands; that certainly isn't "murdering kittens".

      Yeah, there are certainly legitimate reasons for hunting. Just to have a trophy isn't one of them in and of itself. But if you have other, good reasons and it doesn't violate the law and the animal suffers as little as possible...go for it. And I see nothing wrong with stuffing it as a trophy afterward because it is dead anyways. Not something I would do but I'm not going to prevent others from doing it in those cases.

      So you support hunting for sport? As in, they have no good reason to hunt the animal, and they do it just for fun. Plus, the animal a person killed was most likely having a good life up until some person killed them. The animal that they killed could’ve had babies, and now the babies have to fend for themselves. You really have to think about all the possible situations.

Since then I've been watching surgeries, completely interested on what was happening. Now, I'm going into eighth grade, and me, being a girl, I'm excited to dissect a frog. I mean, now a days I watch "how to skin a dear" or "how to clean a wolf head" and I never get disgusted.. unless I'm eating food and I'm thinking about that kind of thing.
