I think the biggest reason it's controversial is that there's no real way to know for sure that they died naturally. But I agree with you, I think it's a great opportunity to study them.
I used to take the birds that killed themselves against my windows down to the local university extension for their taxidermies. That's how they got their animals. Roadkill, etc. In other news: when Cabela's opened their store in Reno years ago, I walked in the front door and came face-to-trunk with an elephant. It was huge and very intimidating. The feeling of awe I felt at that moment is engraved in memory.
My daughter and her husband LOVE Cabela's and now take their three-year-old son with them. The static displays, even with the elephant, bore him to tears, but he loves watching the fish swim around the aquarium. If it moves, it groves.

Hi Michael. I’m sure you’re right. Thanks for your comment!

Cool. Cabelas does a nice job with their displays. But never saw an elephant in one!

If they were dead already....
