I went to a house for a xmas party with my now ex bf about 2 years ago. The house is owned by a couple that specializes in hunting animals and stuffing them for displays. (I forget the techincal name... rather i can't spell it...)
Anyway, so this house is a couple of acres of property. At least half of the house is dedicated to the "museum of the animals." There were about ten large scale displays of all the animals the couple and friends had shot down and stuffed for viewing pleasure. There was everything from little squirrels and baby fawns to giraffes. GIRAFFES!! Who in their right mind stuffs giraffes and gets away with it. I was pretty disgusted but it was like a car crash... you just had to look at it.

It's called taxidermy. Isn't it possible that the giraffes were killed legaly? i don't know the status of the giraffe these days, but it could be very old. I know my grandpa has a couple of deer mounts that are older than me, and i've seen some from the 40's and 50's

taxidermy... thank you...

I am not really sure about the giraffe thing. There were a lot of animals that i wasn't too sure how they got back into the US without animal rights all over them. But i mean they had bears, deer, rodents, birds, elk, and a bunch of other 4 legged animals that I SWEAR aren't legal to have killed. Then again it was two years ago and I don't remember all the animals i saw. The giraffes just stuck out in my mind.
