"In the age of the all-mighty Internet, activities like taxidermy have become nearly outdated, but now designer and burgeoning farmer Kiyoshi Mino&amp;#039;s special taxidermy project is breathing some environmentally-friendly fresh air back into this outdated hobby.  By definition, taxidermy involves hunting, preparing, stuffing and then mounting the skin of a dead animal. Although well practiced for hundreds of years, inventions like movies, photos and even the Internet began to replace people&amp;#039;s desires to have exotic or never-before-seen animals above their fireplaces. The beauty of Kiyoshi&amp;#039;s special taxidermy artwork is that his skillful needle-felting technique on this collection of faux animals looks quite realistic, sometimes scarily authentic, while causing no actual harm to the majestic creatures these figures are modeled after."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
