How wolf Bram publicly receives eternal life as a museum animal - but not without controversy. 'Bram had to suffer in life, now he must serve'
The taxidermy of Bram, a controversial wolf shot for being a 'problem wolf', has sparked public debate at Naturalis. During the event 'Who is the Wolf?', attendees witnessed the preparation of Bram's body, which has become a symbol of the ongoing conflict between wildlife and human interests. Demonstrators protested against the display, arguing that it reflects a broader issue of how society views animals. The museum's director acknowledged the importance of dialogue around such topics, emphasizing the scientific basis for preserving specimens. Despite the protests, the taxidermist aims to honor Bram's story through his work, highlighting the complexities of human-animal relationships.
