Some hunters aren’t content with just killing an animal. They are only satisfied when they have the corpse of the dead beast stuffed and mounted on a wall in their trophy room. Sometimes these hunters turn to less-than-talented taxidermists to preserve their kill for posterity.
When they make the wrong call, some freaky looking stuffed animals are the result. Check out the fox above. If I had to guess, the taxidermist basically stuck a piece of 2×4 into the body cavity and used four large souvenir pencils four the legs.
There are also people who can’t just let a beloved pet go to doggy heaven. They have their beloved terrier filled with sawdust and put it next to the couch so they can pet it forever. Sometimes those pooches don’t truly resemble their living original selves. They end up looking more like props from the movie version of Stephen King’s Pet Sematary.
There’s a Facebook page called Badly Stuffed Animals dedicated to images of these terrors of taxidermy. If you are more of a Google+ kind of person and you refuse to give Mark Zuckerberg’s site any clicks (which is especially likely if your last name is Winklevoss), you can see several of the animal images at the Daily Mail.
Maybe amateur taxidermist and werewolf Wolfie Blackheart was the one who preserved some of these less than lifelike animals.
