Taxidermy show

[JackDanielsU]

Was on BBC2 tonight...what a bunch of oddballs. They sure are serious about what they do.

[B00]

Ahhhhhhhhhh is that what it was?

I was channel hopping and saw a women skinning a dead horse, I went "ewwwwwww" and flicked over again.

I turned over when I saw the young American girl (about 12-14) saying how much she likes to kill animals. She kept referring to them as 'God's creatures'!!

[lea-lea]

It's good to be really serious about something...even taxidermy, most of the people i know have zero conviction with anything they do. Don't knock 'em, "fair play to them" thats what i say.

I find killing for pleasure very disturbing.  I have serious doubts that the young girl (she was 9 years old, I think) will lead a fulfilling life.

I struck me afterwards that, the aim of these people seemed to be to produce something "bigger" or "better" than anybody else.  The logical conclusion to this would be to "taxidermise" a human - now that's scary!!

i must admit that i was gutted when this american guy went to africa to shoot a big male leopard. he hit a lioness by mistake and then loads of antelopes. He didnt even manage to get it home in time for the show.

Is it legal to do that?

I thought the taxidermists with the right attitude were those who only preserved animals that had died from natural causes.

While watching this, Mr P and i were quietly twittering on about the loony Swiss guy who still lived with his parents.

By the end of it, we decided he was the most sane of them all.

I watched this too!  They were certainly a strange bunch of characters!  I couldn't make head or tail of the Swiss guy and even at the end thought he was still very odd (although he had found Jesus, guess that makes killing and stuffing aminals ok!)

The nine year old girl that was encouraged to hunt by her father was pathetically sad!

Roy, the guy that had hunted down the leopard, needs his JACOBS (excuse the language) cut off for killing such a beautiful creature!  May he find Jesus real soon!!!!!!!! 

This taxidermy lark is deffinitely not for me however, it did make a change from the boring soaps and house progs!

Dis anyone catch the explanbation of the human body parts on that gusy necklace? and how he hadn't been arrested for it?

That was the jerks lame attempt at humour. Didnt seem very funny though, Im sure the guides out there found it hillarious, he was lucky he didnt end up strung up from the tree, like all those antelopes and the monkey
