At some point in high school, one of my friends stumbled upon this video and popularized it within my grade. It’s 65 seconds of awkward amusement, and our adventure at Cabela’s this Saturday reminded me of it. A few of us discussed our thoughts on and impressions of taxidermy which ranged from feelings of being creeped out to feelings of being sad for the loss of life and glorification of death by human dominance. I think this video is funny, but what does it say about taxidermy? Is it presented as an art form or as an assertion of humans controlling that which they seek to kill?
