Khaz 7

Lol, I'm probably bugging all my watchers by uploading so many pictures this week... ANYWAYS, I decided to make Khaz poseable too.. sense I was having so much fun posing my Black coyote xD

He is a soft mount red fox, which was made by ~leopardpaws. I put in the wires to make him poseable, but that's all.

Last one of Khaz, at least. Just rolling around in the grass. Just thought it was a cute photo, and that he looked pretty lifelike.

Now, before you start flaming me for owning a fur or taxidermy piece – ASK QUESTIONS FIRST. Get to know me. Figure out how the animal was killed. I can’t tell you how many times people have accused me of killing an animal, told me that it’s wrong to kill an animal just for their fur, or have called me and/or my hobby disgusting. First of all, I have not killed a single animal in my entire life, except for maybe a few bugs. Secondly, animals are rarely killed just for their furs. Even fur farms use more than just the fur. Did you know that the meat in dog and cat foods are bi-products of fur farms? If the dog food you feed your dog has any “meat bi-product” in it, it is most likely a fox, mink, etc. And lastly, taxidermy is NOT disgusting. At all. All it is, is turning a piece of leather into something that will be admired and cherished for years to come. How is that disgusting? It’s a lot less disgusting than a rotting pile of flesh; if the animals not taxidermied, that’s how it’ll end up.

And I hold utmost respect towards ALL of my animals. All of them are handled and treated carefully and respectfully. None of them are thrown around or tossed in my closet or on the floor in a corner. They are all either hung on my wall, across a chair, or on my bed. I hold the same respect for them as I do my pets. After all, they were once living and breathing too.
