Yes, it's one of those annoying questions - like what do you do with your Granny's old mink coat? Personally, I'm not in the position to have to make the decision and I also suspect that museums could probably live without a lot of stuffed animals of uncertain provenance ...

Probably one of those things - does no harm even though some of us would consider it in very bad taste - I find it unpleasant going into country pubs with stuffed foxes and game birds on the walls but .... what can you do?

So, why is it OK for the descendants of yester-years hunters to display the tropies of their anscestors killing sprees?

Especially when the places they are displayed in claim to be conservation centered eco-lodges? Why not donate the moth eaten creatures to a local museam which can display them in the correct context and also raise money for the local conservation groups?
