I prefer to say my animals are responsibly sourced, as the definition of ‘ethical’ can vary from person to person. What I can assure you is that none of the animals I use are killed for the purpose of my work, they are always responsibly obtained.

I responsibly source animals from a variety of places, including: • Roadkill • Beloved pets • Farm livestock losses (dead stock) • Pest control • Animals originally intended for the pet food industry • Animals humanely euthanised due to injury or illness • Naturally deceased animals from captivity (such as zoos and pet stores) None of the animals I work with are ever killed for the purpose of taxidermy.

Yes, I do accept certain donations. Depending on the species and condition of the animal. Donations can be made for me to use in my work, or we can arrange a commission if you’d like the animal preserved and returned to you.
