There was a story in Friday's Wall St. Journal about the rising popularity of using taxidermy as house decor. Of course, the anti's had to comment, but all in all, it was a fairly balanced story.

Do you have a link to the story?

A link would be good, I tryed finding a copy of the paper but all the stores around here don't have yesterdays paper. I'll have to go to the Library tomorrow

I don't have a link. Widowmaker; they said taxidermy is getting to be mainstream decor, and folks buy taxidermy that aren't hunters; some are even vegeatarians.

I hope this craze holds until my wife has to sell my mounts to support herself in the manner in which she would like to become accustomed. I want to enjoy them while I'm still alive, but after that, who cares what she does with them.

George, with your coin she won't live that long

Finally I actually have something that is in style! I need to have my wife read this, as she obviously is not aware that my mounts are the latest thing in high style. It is odd, but after returning from Namibia, I had two or three non-hunters that said they would have paid a trophy fee for a zebra skin if they had known I was there.

They are the latest fad !! I just saw a tv decorator show . They were hanging antlers and heads , and quickly stated they were made of WOOD so no animal was harmed !!! We live in a bizarre world !!

Yes. But what about the poor trees that had to die for the wood? Tragic!

And all those fiendish vegans murdering poor, helpless carrots that can't even run away! What a bunch of Satanists!

I always say vegetarians are a hunter's best friend. They prove that humans don't have to eat meat to survive, showing that those who eat meat only do so for their own pleasure. There is no moral high ground when it comes to killing animals, and since the vast majority of people will never give up their T bones, once they realize they are in fact killing animals for their own pleasure, hunting becomes a lot less objectionable.
