I'm not sure why you think it's fake. It looks no better or worse than the usual taxidermy victim.

One wonders why anyone would think to do this, it's as bizarre as it comes.

Post by: PJ Rowland on June 07, 2012, 06:10:35 AM: There can only ever be one flying Tiger Derek !

Im not sure if Im offended by this or not..... I have a few cats, certainly stuffing them - then stuffing batteries into them wasnt on my list of things to do.. However I can see something artistic about it.

Its no more shocking than anything Gunther von Hagens created.

There is something creepy about it : However something liberating.. about not grieving but celebrating the life.

Unfortunatley.... when I saw this from Brett I could only think of ONE THING : Im sure im not alone when I say this either..

How long till Banjock does one ?

Post by: GGeezer on June 07, 2012, 07:33:13 PM: Will the torment never end! It was bad enough during school years to be saddled with an old fashoned name like Orville. Most people were and are ignorant of the name of the first man to fly a heavier-than-air machine, all they know is pop-corn and now flying dead cats HB~>
Too late to change my name now besides the scars are badges of bravery to be worn proudly.
