Taxidermy Game

Recently, I often hear that produce stuffed extracted from wild animals is unethical , immoral, and generally low sacrilegious. This question is among the issues on the prohibition of hunting in general as such. The postulates of these people appear , usually urban , oblivious of the fact that currently hunting is the only source of livelihood of small nations, including in Russia . To do this, there are even special benefits and privileges to those people in the field hunting .

To understand the essence of the controversy, will touch on a little bit of history. Translated from the Latin taxidermy literally means " treatment of the skin ." However, in the modern sense of taxidermy is just one of the stages in the manufacture of stuffed animals . No educational institution does not release taxidermists . Skills typically acquired independently by rare books and magazines, to learn from the experience already at the venerable taxidermists , which is even smaller. According to Valeria Fialkova , the beginning of the birth of taxidermy in Russian historians believe biology Kunstkamery foundation by Peter I in St. Petersburg. In 1716, for the Cabinet of Curiosities in the Netherlands has acquired a collection of Albert Seba , and in 1717 - Frederick Ruysch . Among the various curiosities , minerals, and anatomical specimens for the museum had also been purchased and stuffed wild animals 212 stuffed elephant , lion, panther , various deer, antelope and 772 stuffed birds. From the Cabinet of Curiosities up the largest museums of the country , including the Museum of Zoology of the Academy of Sciences . There is still no answer to the question is this: craft or art ? Perhaps all together. The purpose of taxidermy - to make a scarecrow , very similar to a living animal. However , inserting the eyes and teeth , for example in the manufacture of stuffed wolf, can not get a wolf , and the animal was completely unknown to science. Like and looks like a living , but there are biological features of each animal is unique to him, a special look , pose, anatomical features , and more. Therefore, the taxidermist must know a lot about animals , up to their habits . According to Coates , AF , as a true art, not just a simple craft tamping stuffed , taxidermy work requires a number of qualities or properties : the interest and love of nature , observation , artistic talent , the ability to capture the elegance and originality of animal shapes, lines , contours technical skill when working with different materials. Very often become hunters and taxidermists game wardens.


There are two areas of taxidermy : the museum and commercial .

Taxidermy museum serves a variety of museums , from Darwin to small museum district . Almost every district center is decorated with museum area of stuffed animals of the local fauna . As a rule, they are made by local craftsmen at different levels , as a rule , are not very high . There are the main types of animals that live in the local forests . In my opinion, this is the most valuable thing that brings taxidermy : show people is far from the nature of what we are surrounded by animals , see them with my own eyes , to feel the world of wildlife. It is also the most powerful argument in favor of taxidermy . In addition, these museums are generally attended by children of preschool age , school , who from an early age are beginning to take up the natural world , expand your horizons . Of course , the quality of the exhibits in museums such leaves much to be desired, but that's another matter.

According to article "Puzzle Flash Games" as such crafts as taxidermy bug wizard may cause a negative reaction viewer. Making stuffed animals - a delicate matter not only technically , but also in the ethical sense. For obvious reasons, ideological order, not all people see it as something artistic craft . Many consider it barbaric. I doubt whether there will be enough good arguments to argue with that opinion . Therefore, by the masters , and the organizers of the show products you should try to avoid those things that are really hunting and taxidermy classes barbaric . First of all , you can not put on display is not quite udavshiesya product. Unlikely, and even more ugly made ​​stuffed loses its original meaning - visibility . A child who had never seen the squirrels, remember it exactly the way I saw at the show.

But ethics is not only taxidermist in the correct transmission of the image of animal , but in the unacceptability of making stuffed animals. This is - a taboo ! Once, a taxidermist, his grandmother brought the dead cat to make it stuffed . Apparently my grandmother did not want to part with your pet . Taxidermist grandmother took pity on the poor and built a scarecrow . This games for boys are awesome. When she saw her pet , she was horrified . It was a different cat , not like the one with which my grandmother lived for many years. It is impossible to convey the image of a pet 's lifetime until the end , no one taxidermist is not capable of it . So until his grandmother nearby . And Lenin , by the way , did not taxidermists and embalmers , people completely different profession.

The second area of taxidermy - the commercial . The greatest development it has received in the last 20 years with the development of commercial hunting and some fashion to have at home a hunting trophy. Hunter , mining , for example, bear, wants to keep his trophy for many years as a carpet or stuffed . In my view, it is a legitimate right . To the trophy was kept as long as possible and in a decent form of a hunter and refers to the taxidermist - professionals. Clearly, this is not done for free . And the higher the level of a taxidermist , the more expensive cost of his services . Currently taxidermist has the opportunity to work with quality materials , man-made mannequins , jaws, eyes, very high quality , manufactured especially for this profession. Dozens of companies , including foreign ones, offer accessories for the manufacture of stuffed animals . Even the eyes for one and the same species are of different quality , coloring , with reflective tint and so on. In general , this is a whole industry . All of this is very expensive, but the hunter now has the right to choose what quality he wants to see his trophy . Of course , this is not art , and clean water craft, making money , business. However, it is possible to justify the high quality products. For example, to make a boar's head taxidermist need at least two weeks. However, if the whole production goals and to make not one, but twenty , it already takes industrial scale , and the process becomes strictly phased industrial character . None of what art is and is not a question . In the first place there is speed of execution and the quality of the product. Many hunters are currently enrolled in hunting tours in Africa , producing African animals. It is clear that such hunting in the life of a hunter may take only once, and in addition to pictures with the trophy , a stuffed earner orders or carpet. Rhino head , for example, decorating the house hunter will serve as a good memory , not only about the hunt , but the trip as a whole at all.

Opponents of taxidermy products rely on the fact that this is just a mockery of murdered or dead animals. However, the crowds of people go to the zoo to look at the living, but sometimes jaded , and often not well-kept animals in a cage. What is more humane ? The answer is obvious . Hundreds of thousands of people buy souvenirs on vacation in warmer climates dried starfish , various fish, such as fish - and other hedgehog stuffed with sawdust ... Is not that taxidermy in a simplified version of it ? It should also be mentioned , and that the work of some taxidermists are not afraid of the word , art . Taxidermist to become an artist when his work can be traced to a plot, but the work itself is endowed with meaning.

These works are rare and never repeated. This is their value. On the creation of the story and the images takes more than one day. Often it happens that initially conceived the plot , entering the work redone several times. This is a very "live" work and very interesting , demanding , in addition , a large perseverance. Such work is mainly exhibited in museums , exhibitions, taxidermy championships and are in great demand because of the inability to put such work to the stream. So it probably should be. This is a whole new trend in taxidermy , which certainly has a great future. Serious taxidermy shops are generally not limited to the manufacture of stuffed animals . They experiment a lot in achieving the usefulness of these activities in the home. For example , the production of the lamps elk antler , in combination with thread . Or sprawled on the pine marten twigs above the clock . The most difficult work in taxidermy is making stuffed fish. The process is very labor intensive and time consuming . In such workshops often ask designers , draws not only hunting base, but also at home enough rich people that are not related to hunting . Opponents of taxidermy probably realize that most products are found in people who are directly or indirectly related to hunting , or nature in general . And this is a personal matter , to have at home a stuffed or not. You can only agree with one, that stuffed should be performed as soon as possible at a higher level , it should not frighten her unnatural , carelessness manufacturing , alien look of the animal. By the way taxidermists do not like to call their work scarecrows . It sounds similar to a scarecrow , but it is not so , preferring to call their products.

Much better things in the West, especially in North America. There is much more widespread and highly paid profession . The products can cost anywhere from a few dozen to hundreds of thousands of dollars. And there are not only special shops, but also schools , learning the craft . Orders come from all over the world. And most importantly - it's a very reputable and licensed trade. According to Ivan Kudryashov taxidermist , taxidermy in Russia - it's the stone age compared to technologies in the West, it is nowhere taught , many of the models we are still based on metal or wooden frames , the activity is not licensed. It will take more than a dozen years before the Russian taxidermists will be quoted on the world market. From myself I can still add that our society is still in its particular part , to say the least , still has a negative attitude to the taxidermist . However, we must not forget that the army of hunters in Russia has hundreds of thousands of people. And with them will have to be considered .
