I'm just now seeing this...all I can say is WOW! I really don't understand some people. I'm pretty sure if I inherited something like this it would be going straight into the trash, not on ebay!

You beat me to it! This is exactly my thoughts...you know there was a time death mask were made of humans. Changing times......

OMG that looks so much like my Gracie it brought tears to my eyes. I understand it's an "antique" but honestly any taxidermy grosses me out.

They can really sell something like this?? That is disgusting!!!!!

meglaulanmar · 01-31-2008, 08:08 PM

the sad thing is that some person probably originally stuffed their dog to "keep it with them" and through the years it got put into this freak's hands! Although I think if that is true... the original people were crazy too...

OMG! That is terrible! What's wrong with people?!?

Sawyers mommy · 01-31-2008, 08:48 PM

That is so sick. Even if someone loved their yorkie so much they wanted it stuffed after it died to keep it with them, I don't see how anyone could be comforted by looking at the severed head of their beloved pet!! Yes things have changed, and not always for the good; but there is no period of history where the severed head of a little dog would have been considered appropriate. I hate stuffed animals of anykind; but I have family members and friends that have deer, elk, abear, and even a fox stuffed in their home. I am willing to bet that a mounted yorkie head would be over the line for them TOO. There is a reason we put dogs and cats above other animals. They are so much a part of our family lives that they truley become part of our family. So sad

Personally, I want to remember my beloved pet they way they were, and not hanging on my wall.

That is true that they are not allowed to sell stuff birds ect on ebay, so I agree, I dont think it is pemitted to sell this stuff head.

Yes he can sell stuffed birds if he meets the restriction requirements which it seems he does..but I dont think he can sell the yorkie due to it being animal fur which ebay doesnt allow to sell but since it is a taxidermy item they may allow it...if they havent removed it by now they probably wont...

I thought the same thing. Once reported eBay is very quick to pull auctions which violate their policies.
