These 34 amazing antlers are here just in time for the upcoming arrival of Santa and his reindeer. Who knows why, but humans seem to be fascinated with antlers. Maybe it's because we associate them with cookies, presents, and flying. I know that's at least true of me. Check out these 34 amazing antlers to see if there are some potential gifts for your friends and family.
Implications - As far back as the sport of hunting goes, the mounting of animal heads has signified prestige for participators in the sport. While these heads are a decor tactic that many in the public sphere can appreciate, the rise in animal activism has created a negative connotation around taxidermy. In order for this animal art to maintain its prevalence in home decor, many artists have created animal-friendly alternatives.
