Ever felt that spooky feeling of angst?
As new residents here we like to drive or walk around to familiarize ourselves with the areas and the activities around here.
Today we stumbled upon this place and the owner gave me permission to take the photos in this post.
Have a look!
All of the animals were culled, meaning that their populations became too big and they were killed so that the others can survive.
So this guy is supplied with the dead animals and he is in the taxidermy business!
One gets a feeling of dead eyes staring at one!
Big and small, they are all in here!
Beautiful animals that once roamed the wilds!
What is happening to our world?
This is what I read in the newspaper of today.
"Africa's ground for illegal Pangolin trade"
"In a rubble-strewn storage lot in the sprawling Nigerian port city of Lagos, customs agents crack open a shipping container crammed with scales from Pangolin, a shy mammal prized in Asia for it's use in medicines.
They say porous borders, lax law enforcement, corruption and one of the continents biggest ports have helped criminal networks in Nigeria corner most of the African trade in Pangolin - considered the most trafficked mammal.
This year alone Hong Kong and Singapore have intercepted 3 huge shipments of Pangolin scale weighing a combined 33.9 tons, and worth more than $100 million based on estimates of their value in Singapore".

Now you can see why the African Pangolin is on the endangered list. I simply cannot understand the slaughter and the poaching that continues unabated to rape the African continent of it's wildlife.
And it is all for money!
Note: Please note that all of this Taxidermist's work with the animals are legal, as they only work with culled animals and not with poached animals. In fact they are also against poaching in Africa!
