Although it may have originally been for taxidermied hunting trophies 150 years ago, from what I understand now all the "naturalized" animals have died natural deaths (with certificates to prove it) and are given a "second life". Some go to museums, some are purchased by wealthy individuals. Deyrolle also rents out the animals for photo shoots, movies (like Asterix?), commercials, and store window displays.<BR/><BR/>I have some gorgeous seashells from Deyrolle; maybe I'll post a photo of them in my next update.Polly-Vous Francaishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12667479743723002691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28165993.post-27440481080326955602008-02-04T12:20:00.000-05:002008-02-04T12:20:00.000-05:00Oh, I'm so glad to know that the animals appear to...Oh, I'm so glad to know that the animals appear to be all right!

Do people buy those animals or is it like a museum and there is a entrance fee? <BR/>Sorry if I sound stupid.lady jickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09013352537776588166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28165993.post-56785315788038495122008-02-03T03:20:00.000-05:002008-02-03T03:20:00.000-05:00BTW at the deyrolle.fr site there is a place where...BTW at the deyrolle.fr site there is a place where devotees of the store can leave a personal message of support.
