thankfully none of the links are working for me, but i have seen these before and they can be very disturbing

[Shelly]

ugh people have no heart...


i fixed the links

[Casey]

i can only hope these animals died of natural causes, which most likely they did, but it can still be disturbing to think that these were someones pet

[Shelly]

i have this posted on talk budgies and so far there are 6 pages of comments. we talked about many things like taxidermy, but animals that are taxidermied are "groomed" looking, where the keets and tiels look horrible and one of the tiels looks like the wing is broken. is the person really that rough when skinning these things? anyway i have emailed the MSPCA just in case they didnt die naturally. everyone on the forum said it was a good idea.

[Casey]

i think ive seen someone posting about them before, somewhere on the seller's page he does claim theyre natural deaths. either way, it creeps me out

[Shelly]

yeah.. -_-

[Casey]

i dont know, its just thinking it was a pet really bugs me

[Shelly]

and knowing that the person who owned it gave it to their friend to skin. there is no way in heck that i would want to A. give my dead fid to someone who will skin it and B. go on ebay and see one one of my babies on there, all flat and for $10...

I have no comment at all, this is just cruel and heartless
