Question 1

Are your animals ethically sourced?

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.

Question 2

I responsibly source animals from a variety of places, including:
 • Roadkill
 • Beloved pets

 • 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.

Question 3

Do you accept animal donations from the public?
