This looks too real to be a toy! The price is a bit out of reach for the average household, but gee someone will cherish this if lucky to be given as a present.

Actually, it is a dead miniature horse, from what I can tell. Lovely. I’d like to know who would allow their horse to end up like…this. Oi.

Of course, I tried clicking on it to get a better look at some of the other views, but you can’t. However, he is now selling THIS….

My daughter has a LIVE one that looks almost identical to this guy. She walked in as I was simultaneously gasping in horror and laughing hysterically. Luckily, she’s got a strong stomach and wonderfully sick sense of humor for a 7-year-old.

And you do realize that you can get a LIVE one for under $30.

Where does this guy find his “subjects”? I want to know his name, so I NEVER sell him a pet….

That can’t possibly mean she’ll …use an animal that’s alive currently? I’m so freaked out.

@Deenadj: ““It can take 2-4 weeks to fill a custom order.”

WTF does THAT mean? She PLANS to go out and find another “stillborn” goat (or whatever animal you specify)?”

The idea I’m getting is that she runs a secret barnyard abortion clinic… ;_; GO AWAY MENTAL IMAGE OF THAT! GO AWAY!!!

@Life “If a traditional unicorn can only be approached by a virgin, who can approach a black unicorn?”

This anti-unicorn can only be approached by the skankiest of women. Even Britney Spears couldn’t get close to it.

Taxidermy’s not as nasty as the initial gut (!) reaction it engenders. There’s no dessicated intestines or pickled brains or leftovers of the pitiful final meal in that cute li’l carcass; the artiste just stretches and glues a preserved hide over a posed plastic form so there’s really nothing ickier than, say, your favorite leather jacket going on here. The skinned remains (“the gooey bits”) go on to a presumed decent Christian burial.

I’m guessing the subjects are stillborn livestock from a local farmer so no actual animals were harmed in the making of this particular nightmare. As opposed to, say, that hamburger you had for lunch.

And I’m not being an apologist, it’s still creepy even when you know how it’s made.

This is a serious observation. I think a lot of these sellers need to take a course on “perception” – how other people perceive the things you say and do, and write. I’m sure we all do or say weird crap at home where no one can see us, but when we are exposed to the eyes and ears of others, we behave VERY differently. That’s because we are AWARE of how our actions/words might be perceived by others. I’m sure she meant well, but this one landed way, WAY off the mark.

“It can take 2-4 weeks to fill a custom order.”

WTF does THAT mean? She PLANS to go out and find another “stillborn” goat (or whatever animal you specify)? Or does she just go farmhouse to farmhouse asking if they have any dead baby WHATEVERS she can have? Or worst of all, do animals at neighboring farms seem to go “missing” a lot, never to be seen again? It’s one thing to have the whole stillborn thing fall into your lap, but it’s quite another to do custom dead animal ORDERS.
