Some farms also experience the unfortunate case of stillborn animals, or animals that were not viable to survive despite extensive medical care. I also get animals from other taxidermists who do not want certain specimens because they are retiring, closing their businesses, downsizing, or a number of other reasons.
Others come from abatement work, usually done as part of conservation programs to remove invasive, non-beneficial species encroaching on the habitat of native species.
These animals would be harvested and remains destroyed if not used otherwise. Although I may not be a hunter, I have met many of them who love nature, and have driven effective conservation initiatives where responsible practices promote environmental stewardship, manage invasive species, and fundraise to keep wild land as untouched as possible.
