As much as it may be a 'natural' behaviour it's a disgusting one at that. There's no way in hell I'd be ok with watching my dog go at it with a stuffed animal. ESPECIALLY with people over visiting. I realize a lot of people on this site find it hilarious and take pictures & videos of it, it's just not my 'cup of tea' so to speak.
