The answer is simple\u2014nature, and it can be found everywhere you look (indoors or out). From the never-ending \u2018save the environment\u2019 movement and enhanced efforts to \u2018go green\u2019, to trendy tropical prints and feathers in fashion, it is obvious that natural, organic beauty is <strong><em>in<\/em><\/strong> right now. But how far is too far? Should taxidermy hold a place in the design world, or is it tasteless, cruel and tacky?<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First thing\u2019s first\u2014what exactly<em> is<\/em> taxidermy? You\u2019ve surely seen deer and elk mounted in country-western themed bars or on television, but the actual definition seems to personify taxidermy as a striking and beautiful villain straight out of a fairytale. Taxidermy is literally defined as \u201cthe art of preparing, stuffing, and mounting animal hide or skin to replicate a lifelike effect\u201d.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll notice by definition taxidermy is considered an art.

Concerned that a handful of people are hunting rare and prized animals solely to obtain a unique taxidermized trophy? Did you consider the numerous displays from the Victorian Era that have been beautifully kept up and recycled for generations? Or maybe how dull a trip to the Museum of Natural History would be without the soulful displays of these animals in their natural habitats? Perhaps there is a humane way to preserve the natural beauty of our wildlife.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.finetaxidermy.com\/archives#archives-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSvT-Snake-Heraldic-681x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Fine Taxidermy by Darwin, Sinke and van Tongeren - SNAKE HERALDRY\" class=\"wp-image-40090\" width=\"710\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSvT-Snake-Heraldic-681x1024.jpg 681w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSvT-Snake-Heraldic-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.lovehappensmag.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/DSvT-Snake-Heraldic.jpg 710w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 681px) 100vw, 681px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><em>SNAKE HERALDRY by Darwin, Sinke and van Tongeren<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Queue the brilliant minds of Ferry van Tongeren and Jaap Sinke, the master craftsmen behind <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finetaxidermy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Darwin, Sinke and van Tongeren (opens in a new tab)\">Darwin, Sinke and van Tongeren<\/a>.
