"So to summarize your position here, only meat animals should be taxidermied, and works of art should only be displayed in museums, not in private homes? Bobcat hunting is legal, taxidermy is legal, and selling mounts on eBay must be legal too, if it's for sale. eBay is not a "public" auction site, it's a private business enterprise. I don't approve of trophy hunting either, just my personal feeling, but stopping one guy from selling one mount isn't going to make it stop happening."
To me a bucks head on a wall is not a work of art. What if they started doing that to cats. Oh my cat is pretty so I am going to shoot it, skin it and hang it on the wall. That's sick. Bobcat hunting is controlled because they are a CITES listed species. Iknow all that stuff is legal, I amjust giving my opinion here ok, if yours differs so be it. You are entitled to yours as I am mine and this is my opinion. I dn't know what you mean about meat animals. I have never seen a stuffed cow. I never said taxidermy was wrong, people do it for all reasons. I just disagree about the way the animals are killed. They consider them such beautiful creatures. Don't you think it would be more beautiful if it were alive? Do you not think what happened to that buck was sad and disrespectful to the creature, to shoot it and leave it there to die a painful death?
I do agree that one person is not going to change a thing, and maybe it's useless but for the people who care maybe they can do something about it, at least stop the useless slaughter of defenseless animals for sport. Eating them, using the hide for clothing etc. is fine. But to just kill something to kill it is discusting and crazy.
