Lockdown live with Dewald Kirsten

Today I chat with Douglas, the MD of Splitting Image Taxidermy. Love it or hate it, Taxidermy is an art form in its own, and to see GOOD taxidermy really is something to enjoy. These artists can bring an animal back to life again.  I would like to find out how and why Douglas began the business, a business that is internationally recognised.   One of the things that really stands out to me is their professional image on social media, when a company goes to that extend, you know your product is of top quality.
