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.
