Miami taxidermist, Enrique Gomez De Molina, is facing five years of jail time and a quarter million US$ in fines for importing body parts of rare and exotic animals to build a series of bizarre hybrid taxidermist sculptures.
Molina never obtained the many, many permits required to import the skins and cadavers he used, opting instead to have folk smuggle in cobras, hornbills, and pangolins, among a host of other endangered species, into town by wrapping them in carbon paper.
Two of Molina’s sculptures recently sold at a local art fair for US$ 100 000. While defending himself in court, Molina claimed that he was trying to raise awareness of the dangers behind genetic engineering, which is just ha, but pleaded guilty to the smuggling charges anyway; he’ll be sentenced in a couple of months.
