The Consolations of Taxidermy

BBC Radio 4 - A Point of View, The Consolations of Taxidermy

Rebecca Stott on her fascination with taxidermy.

"I've long been fascinated with taxidermy", writes Rebecca Stott, "but it disturbs me". 
She explains why - after many years - she's made her peace with taxidermy. 
"After all, can we really be all high-horse-ish about the way our ancestors shot, classified and stuffed everything in their path, given how much damage we've done to species and their habitats in the last fifty years alone?" 

Producer: Adele Armstrong

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
