Ready to be flamed, but:
The upside of taxidermy is that it brings people closer to animals we never can see or touch in the wild. Think, Natural History Museum in Los Angeles, CA.
“Havesting” animals equals “Bad” (especially with PETA in mind). Live animals, even more so.
BUT, there is the thought that the creative amalgamation of “naturally-dead” animals makes for a provocative and jarring disconnect with the sensibilities (Surrealism, Dada, etc.)
These chimeras could be considered a form of protest, to disturb the viewer into contemplating nature.
To add, the beloved Dr. Suess (Prof. Theodore Geisel) created these sort of beastly creations for fun… just sayin’.
