...No disrespect intended, but could someone please explain why people stuff their pets after they die? I've always found that to be very odd. It just seems somehow... disrespectful. I can't really articulate it better than that.
Well, when our old Vizsla, Amber, died, I would always turn to the couch where she usually sat to say good night to her. But then I would realize she wasn't there, and wouldn't be there ever again. That was the worst part about her dying.
Now this is just a guess, but I would venture to say that people stuff their pets so they can pretend, to some extent, that their pet isn't really dead. For all the work we've done in science and philosophy, humans aren't very rational creatures when you get right down to it. Infact, we're probably some of the least rational animals on the planet.
But yes, I would agree that the cat-copter is just a bit disrespectful. Turning your beloved pet into a toy..... thats just too far.
