674. Taxidermy but not for dogs and cats

Hi Dr Sing Kong Yuen,

My name is ..., a taxidermist operating in Singapore and is featured in ... (...). I read with regret your blog posting on 2010vets that a client had a taxidermied chihuahua by a local taxidermist that did not met his/her expectations.

I'm trained in my trade in New Zealand for a long time and can guessed what the problems your client have for the chihuahua. This is coming from my background in taxidermy and, more importantly, knowledge and skill in tanning animal skins with fur/hair on! However, I don't do dogs or cats out of personal principles (see ... report), but will still help out if sorely requested.

Being a current member of the Taxidermy Association Of New Zealand (www.nzta.co.nz), I'm in constant update of the state-of-the-art in taxidermy.

I hope to put right whatever misgivings you have regards taxidermy in Singapore. If you or your clients do have taxidermy needs in future, please do not hesitate to contact me. I'm sure your opinion will change once my work is seen by you.

Regards,
