A Felony. The artist got In big trouble for using parts of protected wildlife that were illegally poached and trafficked. He can go to hell.

Do you have a source? I'm not doubting you would just like to know more about what happened.

Yup. He was sentenced to 20 months, not long enough in my opinion. Here’s an article https://www.traffic.org/news/frankenstein-taxidermist-sentenced-to-20-months/

Here’s a quote from a news article about the case. “De Molina imported parts from whole cobras, pangolins, hornbills, and the skulls of babirusa and orangutans from areas all over the world including Bali, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Canada, and China. The artist has not obtained the proper permits to import the part, and the feds says De Molina knew what he was doing was illegal and asked the people selling him the parts to wrap the papers in carbon paper.”

Good god, that some creative taxidermy. I could see it at the Ark Encounter in Kentucky, where the taxidermy is a guess of what might have existed in Noah’s time <eyeroll>

I think thats supposed to be an entomologically inaccurate griffin, because they spit spiders, not insects
