For me its a for sure NO I could never stuff one of my animals but for a
bizzare one one of my friends(can't believe i just admitted she is my friend
lol) had a gorgous appaloosa stallion that had to be put down due to some
health issues and they were considering skinning him so they could have his
hide tanned since his coat was so beautiful. I and her daughters vowed to
never speak to her agian if she did it. She reasoned he wouldn't need it
anymore but we stood our ground and won. Irish got to keep his fur:) I just
think its a really creepy thing to want to do YUCK!!
