Personally, I’m not really fond of stuffed animals. It simply looks creepy and spooky and I feel sorry for the poor animals. I mean, isn’t it enough that they were killed just for someone’s fun and amusement, but do they above that need to be stuffed and serve as decor in that person’s house where everybody who enters will see their unfortunate bodies and the fear in their eyes, caught just before they were brutally killed.
Well, apparently, that wasn’t kinky and weird enough for someone’s sophisticated taste, so he decided to make this bizarre and unnatural composite by combining parts of different animals’ bodies and that way created the ugliest and scariest sculptures that I’ve ever seen.
This bizarre collection of animals, that existed maybe only in Greek mythology, was in possession of adventurist from Victorian period, who’s name is professor Copperthwaite and who traveled around the whole world in the 19th century. Now it’s pieces are getting transported and are being prepared for an auction.
I can’t really realize who and for what reason would buy and keep in his house something as disturbing as these stuffed animals. It would simply make me feel unease. This is definitely not my cup of tea, but who likes it, let him go for it with all his means.
The collection contains unicorn, Bigfoot, flying cat, and other strange creatures. After the first owner’s death the animals became part of the Museum of Taxidermy, but now it has been closed due to the lack of visitors (I wonder why) and therefor the whole collection is going to be sold under the hammer of an auction.
