Anonymous asked: do you ever kill animals for research/skinning/experiments?

No.  Please refer to the disclaimer on the top of my blog — all specimens are procured by ethical and legal means.  We never kill, trap, maim, or otherwise harm any living creature for the benefit of our collections.  We never experiment on live animals.  We abide by all state and federal laws regarding the possession and collection of animal remains, including having the required permits for protected and endangered species.
