Taxidermy has been the butt of jokes. It has also appeared as a means of frightening people or setting the scene in horror movies. Yet, taxidermy is a skill requiring experience and education. This is particularly true for those who have entered the minefield known as pet taxidermy.
Taxidermy
Taxidermy is the removal of the skeleton and inner organs of a once-living creature. For pets, the process is as it would be for any animal. The remaining physical being is then draped on a form to produce a specific result.
However, for those working in the field of taxidermy, pets are not “just animals.” These are emotionally charged situations. This requires a taxidermist to go beyond being a taxidermist and become a pet preservationist.
A pet preservation specialist does more than provide the desired physical result. s/he acknowledges the serious loss of a family member. It is imperative to not only discuss the details of the process but also to listen to what the client wants and expects. Only by doing so, by recognizing the impact of the loss and how taxidermy can reduce the resulting grief, can a taxidermist provide the best result possible.
