This trophy mount would be designed to open and close around the neck of a deer, such that the deer could choose to stand with its head in it. A pet deer living behind the wall would be trained to stand in it (drugs would work) for long periods of time.

I was thinking more of those sports trophies which are in the form of a gilded figure of a person

// gilded figure of a person //

Wouldn't it be difficult to get the person to stand still for the gilding?

Oh wait, the drugs.

Do this with a bunch of different animals! Like one of those world traveling trophy hunter dens. Just have feeding time where you've got twenty different animals sticking their head through the wall.

This could be a thing at the zoo. Have each animal have a writeup of what they are under their heads.

So you go from "could choose to stand in it" to "drugged to stand in it"?

Drugged to choose to stand to. Now you say "animal cruelty" and I give you a raspberry.

I WAS going to say that. You know me so well lol

As long as the deer is happy I don't see any ethical problem. Are we now concerned for lesser animals right to self-determination? If so there are a lot of dogs, cats, and horses to free.

How happy can it be, standing solitary with its head in a hole all day? I'm not aware of anyone who subjects a cat or dog to such treatment.

I'm not suggesting it be held there with physical force. But if it would rather do that for, say, a hit of heroin or some booze who am I to judge?
