animals either dead or alive shouldnt be on ebay, thats what really wrong as sall said

IMO, if people are interested in Taxidermy, why don't they privatly sell instead of putting it up on an auction site.

That's the bit that gets me. If I saw a stuffed GSD head, I think I'd react the same way.

Exactly the same if i saw a lab one

Whoever placed that item on e-bay needs there head looking at ( pardon the pun )

However i dont find taxidermy discusting as long as the animal had passed away, rather than being killed/culled for that purpose, now thats what makes it discusting!

i find it disrepectful to the animal , whether it has died naturally or not, but again thats my opinion

Dont get me wrong I dont really agree with it benig flogged on Ebay but I dont find taxidermy in itself sick or disgusting as like WG and like I said in an earlier post I too dont mind it as long as the animal wasnt killed for the purpose of the "piece".

Now I am sure taxidermy on humans is illegal but what about mummies? Isnt that a type of this in a way? Not that I would do that in this country mind lol.

I totally agree Whizz. I think the fact that it was a head, and not the whole thing, makes it even more of a shock. This animal was mutilated after death, to make someone else happy

Opinions we are entitled to

However i wasnt going to bin perhaps thousands of pounds worth of items i inherited from my grandmother, just because i didnt like them, or other people were offended by looking at them.

Right or wrong of me i kept them as they belonged to my grandmother, whom i was very close to.
