That's horrible! Maybe SPNHC (Society for the Preservation of Natural History Collections) can help or should be informed?
On their Website they have a Statement on Taxidermy disposal and encourage anyone to reach out to them in such cases..

The university is taking advantage of pending renovations to the biological sciences building and the impending retirements of several faculty to eliminate the herbarium. Curators have been given "2-3 years" to find new homes for the collections.
