Product Information

Here the very best of the worst stuffed animals are brought together in one full-colour volume; with additional features including a DIY ‘Stuff Your Own Mouse’ lesson, and an author’s introduction to the craze for getting stuffed. Although I may have giggled a few times, the book overall only ensured my dislike of taxidermy practices. this book is a collection of pictures of wonky and sad taxidermy she has been collecting for her blog http://crappytaxidermy. It's divided into various sections of bad, so on the one hand you have works of taxidermy with creepy eyes, and on the other, you have anthropomorphized animals that aren't "bad" so much as they look like escapees from a Walter Potter museum.

I didn't like the "improving on nature" and "anthropomorphic" chapters at all, some images made me feel ashamed of belonging to the same species as the people who created those "funny" freakshows. Additionally, for readers who are curious about how to go about stuffing and mounting dead animals, the last chapter of the book will feature a DIY tutorial on how to stuff a mouse. Kat Suis the creator of the popular Tumblr Crappy Taxidermy, which was made into the book Crap Taxidermyin 2014. I don't know if some of those examples are only taxidermists’ faults as some of them might be result of neglect.

Scout, Su’s own cat, is still only seven, but she has already formed a plan to have it dressed and posed soon after its death.

This volume brings together the very best of the worst (along with a DIY "Stuff Your Own Mouse" lesson by an Insect Preparator from the American Museum of Natural History), showcasing the most perverse yet imaginative anatomical reconstructions of the animal kingdom you'll ever see.Knowing that I could not excuse dropping so many Benjamins on a rotted boar’s head and remain married, I chose Option B – I went and visited him a few times a month just to check in, catch up, make sure he was being treated okay, etc. Nish says, “People send me pictures of creatures they have seen and all I do is post them on my Twitter with a hilarious caption. Kat Su's Twitter Crap Taxidermy is an often hilarious, sometimes creepy, and always weird glimpse into the world of stuffing dead animals. I think it would be fun to get her stuffed as an anthropomorphic cat, wearing clothes and maybe eating something. That said, Nish made it very clear to me that he is, in fact, an animal lover and does not condone hunting for sport or animal cruelty.
