Description Last photo for now, I promise >< just a closeup of my black coyote's face.

--

Now, before you start flaming me for owning a fur or taxidermy piece – ASK QUESTIONS FIRST. Get to know me. Figure out how the animal was killed. I can’t tell you how many times people have accused me of killing an animal, told me that it’s wrong to kill an animal just for their fur, or have called me and/or my hobby disgusting. First of all, I have not killed a single animal in my entire life, except for maybe a few bugs. Secondly, animals are rarely killed just for their furs. Even fur farms use more than just the fur. Did you know that the meat in dog and cat foods are bi-products of fur farms? If the dog food you feed your dog has any “meat bi-product” in it, it is most likely a fox, mink, etc. And lastly, taxidermy is NOT disgusting. At all. All it is, is turning a piece of leather into something that will be admired and cherished for years to come. How is that disgusting? It’s a lot less disgusting than a rotting pile of flesh; if the animals not taxidermied, that’s how it’ll end up.

And I hold utmost respect towards ALL of my animals. All of them are handled and treated carefully and respectfully. None of them are thrown around or tossed in my closet or on the floor in a corner. They are all either hung on my wall, across a chair, or on my bed. I hold the same respect for them as I do my pets. After all, they were once living and breathing too.

What a handsome soft mounty!
What happened to his leg.. was he snared?
Just wondering, really. I would have bought him if I still had any money :<

Lupen202 In reply to CalorieFox [2012-08-07 02:34:32 +0000 UTC]

Well, according to ~leopardpaws he had a foot disease, which is why his foot is messed up. They could have used a snare as well though to capture him and put him out of his misery. Its been so long though I can't really remember the exact story

Lupen202 In reply to AdarkerNEMISIS [2011-05-07 22:26:44 +0000 UTC]

Lol, I do want a black wolf. I have a grey wolf and an arctic wolf, but still no black wolf. Last color I'd need : P

And xD Mini wolf... and Slate is actually a good name. It's just hard settling on something for him for some reason.

AdarkerNEMISIS In reply to Lupen202 [2011-05-07 23:28:31 +0000 UTC]

I had one, but I want another one to mount up, I have two arctics and some brown colored ped I plan to mount up this month.

but your mini wolf as black slate sounds kind of cool for him but its your choice. Sad part is I now realized what the name is from.....a book called black slate oops. But names are always hard with alot of fluffs.

I really like this picture! The lighting, the way you captured your coyote so nicely (and got him to sit up so well, haha), the way the camera focused on the 'yote while the rest is a blur...it's just so neat, in my opinion! Almost seems sinister in a way, and yet, innocent. Haha, I'll over-analyze this with absolutely no good knowledge of how to do so...so I'll stop now

Lol, thank you xD I like the lighting too... might actually start taking more photographs at night now. I like taking photographs in the daytime too, of course, but... I don't know. ><
