this is an awesome documentary. as a taxidermist myself, i find myself being asked the same questions and subject to the same accusations of cruelty. but another thing i asked them is "It isnt cruel that you run over or hit a ground hog or something and let it rot there, but it is cruel that i try to preserve that creature for all to see?" this industry is really misunderstood, and i thank you for making this
