Didnt someone do this with a cat a few years back?

[Osoroshii]

That's more than a little macabre to me... Anyone who would have their dead pet stuffed and then turned into a remote controlled toy has some issues.

[Attackrabbit]

Yup replace the R with a C and it was done fairly recently

[Forgettable]

I think that's awesome haha.

Old news, and even in MoP:

Why not take it a step further and do that with dead people? I think it's a brilliant idea.

Yes, also in the Netherlands(?).

Haha ok, here's the catcopter:



It's obvious what must happen next...

When I get my cybernetic enhancements, I'm totally getting helicopter limbs.

I could have done the same and without needing such tech, just good old arm muscles and tadaaa: flying rat.

How can you bare with seeing the dead husk of something you once loved turned into a toy?
Idk, i feel he has a disconnect with empathy or something.
Could you turn your parents bodys into helicopters and feel ok with it?

This just seems a little fucked up if you ask me...

Why? The only thing you keep with taxidermy is the skin. Fluffy's soul is cremated with the rest of his innards and the eyes are replaced with glass eyes.

Makes it less horrifying but it just doesn't really seem right. I'm totally fine with people mounting Deer and Fish but with little critters i feel like this is completely wrong, does a kid really enjoy playing with a dead animal? Like the fuck man, mourn over the critter and be done with it.

People used to wear dead foxes on their feet and dead raccoons on their head. There was no foam-rubber-berries and rayon bushes back then.

*shrug* Taxidermy isn't exactly new.

I'd be worried. My son would seem rather unstable to me. Just build a fucking model helicopter. Why the fuck would you use a dead animal as the base? Let alone a friend you had as a pet.
