Mounting a pet after death?

[Jdeere562]

Would you consider doing this? Been watching some YouTube videos. Someone has quite a collection of them on Instagram.
Not sure if posting that link would break any rules, so I chose not to.

My friend did taxidermy and mounted a few. Stopped that because quite a few folks never picked them up when finished.
Must have reconsidered after more thought.

Could you have that pet in your house? Cat curled up in a chair? Dog with a ball in his mouth?

Sorry, but I find that whole idea kinda sick & twisted.

Me too, but it got me thinking. I wonder if someone can do me up sitting in my easy chair.

I have buried most of my dogs in the woods around my house. And one was cremated. I would not want one stuffed and mounted.

Never read it, heard it promoted on the radio, sounded interesting.

Personally, I would not want a pet mounted. Don't want Grandma in her rocking chair either.
It was just food for thought and conversation. Some folks obviously are in the market for them.

Seeing a deceased love one in a casket, is almost too much for me.

I hear, just having a little fun with a depressing topic.

Guess they mounted Roy Roger's horse, Trigger.

If I’m home - we bury pets - if not the vet can get them cremated

 

[Dave Hess]

No thanks. Pets get proper burial in my back yard.

I would rather have a human sized Chucky doll in my living room.

He used to be near me in Victorville,ca. Roy and Dale lived in Apple valley where I live. I went to high school with their grand daughters.

I would not stuff my dead pets. I either bury them or have them cremated.

99% no.
A unlikely circumstance where I might would be if I was a really rich guy with a very large hunting room with plenty of mounted trophies, then I might have my favourite gun dogs placed in that room.

I remember watching him on a late night show promoting it, anecdote he told was equal parts sad and horrifying. Sad because of the pain of the loss leading them to not wanting to say goodbye, horrifying because the taxidermist posed the loving sweet dog as an aggressive dog with a snarled lip. We’ve buried pets for years, a few cremations along the way.

No. Absolutely not.

Don't do this either.

Taken through an exterminator's shop window. He had a pair boxing and a big rat dressed as a town crier.

 

[Elkins45]

That's a no for me. I think it would just be a constant sad reminder.

 

[Oliveoil2]

Oh Dear God No.

 

[Drifter]

Count me out too. Couldn't do it.

Looks like they stuffed Roy and Dale too.

I think seeing my best dog ever stuffed would just remind me he's dead. No thanks.

build a pet mausoleum in the back yard with etched in granite a picture of the pet. or just hang the granite picture on your wall.this can be done with even a photo,or just bury the pet in yard with a nice homemade coffin and marker of your choice.
