Taxidermy itself, no, and while the idea of turning a beloved pet into a statue or a wall mount is creepy enough by itself, the concept of turning it into a toy is a whole new level of fucked up.Originally Posted by s_bushido

That's pretty disgusting and disrespectful to the pet's memory. Taxidermy and related practices have always been rather macabre and morbid but it's very unusual to see a young kid interested in that sort of thing. I can't help but feel as though he may be a little bit of a psychopath.

This is fucking gross tbh. If my dog pass away, i'm sure as hell wouldn't disembowel him and turn him into a toy.
Nobody likes you, everyone left you, they're all out without you havin fun.

To all those saying "Already been done", the people who did the boy's pet rat are the same guys who did the flying cat.

Stuffing a dead animal is one thing. Unleashing them on the skies is another! Originally Posted by The Batman

"Aww my pet just died... Now that I think about it... His corpse would make a fantastic Helicopter body!"
What the fuck is wrong with you people?

...
Luckily, if that's how you want to put it, Dutch inventors Arjen Beltman and Bart Jansen were on hand to help him achieve his goal.
The duo were naturally Pepeijn's first port of call after seeing their previous work, which includes producing the world's first stuffed, radio-controlled flying cat.

Yes, by the same people. It's mentioned in the article that they've also done an ostrich and are working on a shark. Originally Posted by rederoin

Awesome!, can't believe people would prefer the skin to just rot away in the ground.
All right, gentleperchildren, let's review. The year is 2024 - that's two-zero-two-four, as in the 21st Century's perfect vision - and I am sorry to say the world has become a pussy-whipped, Brady Bunch version of itself, run by a bunch of still-masked clots ridden infertile senile sissies who want the Last Ukrainian to die so they can get on with the War on China, with some middle-eastern genocide on the side
