Along the Nile River in Egypt,
the bones of animals buried by humans
5,000 years ago were discovered.
This find shows that humans have adored
and lived with animals since back then.
From the relationship between humans
and animals and our history together was
born the culture of taxidermy.
Is it a new expression of love that human knowledge and technology have created?

What would a once living,
breathing animal think if it saw itself
stuffed and mounted?
Would it think the eyes should look
more majestic or that life was not as joyful as its artificial, stuffed pose seems to indicate?
I bet it would have a lot to say.
