Stuffed animals are for cuddling, not for killing! T&A Friendly doesn’t seem to think so. Their [handcrafted plushies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lulu-the-lamb) are mounted on wooden plaques to display in your home. I must admit, these little crafts would make a hilarious addition to any living room.

Although this is an obvious example of plushie cruelty, it is quite nice that a portion of the sales of these faux taxidermy deer, bears, turkeys, and foxes is donated to [The Humane Society](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humane-world-for-animals).
