Watch two short films by Ali Graham showing the process of both mammal and bird taxidermy by ethical taxidermist and artist, Jazmine Miles-Long. Please be aware this film contains scenes of animal dissection.
Find out more about Jazmine's display at the Horniman Museum and Gardens, 'Memorial. A Tribute to Taxidermy': horniman.ac.uk/visit/exhibitio...
If you are interested in taxidermy, Jazmine has also written a piece on the process of ethical taxidermy in the UK: www.horniman.ac.uk/get_involve...

The Horniman Museum and Gardens is an inspiring, surprising, family-friendly, free attraction in South London’s Forest Hill. We’ve been open since Victorian times, when Frederick John Horniman first opened his house and extraordinary collection of objects to visitors. Since then, our collection has grown tenfold and includes internationally important collections of anthropology and musical instruments, as well as an acclaimed aquarium and natural history collection.
Unusually for such an important museum, you can see our collection up-close and face-to-face. You can even pick up, try on and play with some of our objects.

Amazing work and Jazmine made the ferret looking animal look more adorable. I don't understand how anyone could NOT see how artists like her create these amazing recreations of the living are a good thing. Now, people can study and see the animals much easier. At least she isn't a trophy hunter type!

I am a taxidermist as well. I do work on animals dead from both natural causes and hunting. I am still an ethical taxidermist. There is nothing wrong with working on hunted animals as well. They deserve to be honored in the same way as those animals who died naturally.

@paxtondashnau8648 9 ай бұрын

on many small animals people often use the organic skull of the animal as it is easy too preserve and light weight. As you move on too larger animals any amount of meat left in a crevace of a skull could cause issues and they become too heavy. Also with ducks and geese artificial heads are often used because the outer layer of their beaks tend too dry out, crack, and flake off as time goes by.

Not really. I think it's a very beautiful tribute. She's an ethical taxidermist. She only works with animals who've died of natural causes. I do the same, myself. I mostly work with animals I find dead or those i've rescued who die of natural causes in my possession, including pets. Death is as natural as life and even as a vegan, I understand that accidents can happen as well..my only issue has ever been with deliberately taking lives. Anyway, I love horror movies ;D

The beginning insinuates that animals harvested by hunting is unethical to mount? Why would this be so? As humans, we are animals. If we kill something with a purpose other than just to mount it, such as necessary food, that is nature. I'm not trying to argue whether or not hunting is ethical, for it simply is. I am trying to argue why preserving something's essence and beauty, that will likely otherwise go to the worms, birds, mice and bugs, is unethical?

Hi Coy, many thanks for your comments. In this film the use of the term ‘ethical taxidermy’ refers to the practice of using animals that have died from natural causes or as a result of an accident (like roadkill). The artists we work with take different approaches to their work, but have in common that they would not kill animals for the sole purpose of creating an artwork.

Hi Alexandre, Jazmine uses the term ethical taxidermist to mean that she uses animals that have died from a natural cause or accident, rather than killed for the purposes of taxidermy. For example, the specimen may have been hit by a car, flown into a window or died from old age or illness. You can read more about Jazmine's work here: www.horniman.ac.uk/story/ethical-taxidermy-where-do-the-animals-come-from/
