I don't have a problem with taxidermy, people stuff their pets for heaven sakes, I just think it is WRONG to kill an animal just for it's pelt, because it is seen as a prize. A baby bobcat cannot due harm and usually bobcats do not go up to people and attack them. I know, only because there are a lot of people around here who keep them as pets (exotic animal breeders) and they grow up with children. Have you seen bobcat sleep with a pair of siamese? Or a serval and a caracal friends. Well I have. Animals should not be killed as trophie. Bear hunting, deer hunting etc. discusts me. I can understand if you are going to use the animal as food but no one is going to eat bobcat, zebra or elephant tusks. There is no reason to stuff a squirrel, that is just plain stupid.

If the animal was a threat to the community and had to be euthanized then stuff it, but don't siplay it like some work of art. Send it to a museum or something where it can be studied or people who have never seen one can see it up close without risk of injury. I also used to live in 29 Plams, in the hot desert where bobcat, coyote and other creatures were at my doorstep everynight. Was I afraid, hell no. I kept my distance and respected the creature. I didn't go get my shot gun and go "Hey, there's a bobcat at my door, it's a threat to me, guess I should go get my gun and shoot it!" No, I let it live out it's life. It was there first, that is where it belongs. Us humans are constantly taking over their space, I don't blame them for having to wander our neighborhoods, after all, it's our fault.
