Taxidermied Decor: What's Your Take?

Leaping zebras! We saw this Pac Heights mansion on Curbed and couldn't look away from the train wreck of decor inside. If the animal isn't stuffed or skinned it's plated in gold. Sad, no? Though that's not to say we're anti-taxidermy. A piece or two in moderation is fine with us, particularly if said animal wasn't hunted or positioned in an eternal leap to its death (hey, we might try the same thing if we had to live in this place). But we'd like to hear your thoughts. Is taxidermy a tasteless practice or tres chic? Somewhere in between? Let us know.
