  • Um I couldn't do this. I love my dog so much but to have him stuffed is just a constant reminder that I don't have him and is a little creepy to me.

  • These pet owners that lost a pet are sick and should go save their money and go see a psychologist instead.

  • Their good but not Chuck Testa good

  • Comment removed

  • this...is..sad...

  • 0:53

    "is there any kind of position you want him in?"

    "he slept alot so i want him sleeping"

    OH WEL HES DEad shouldnt be a problem XDDDDD

  • @Joeyblondewolf2 ur awesome

  • @Joeyblondewolf2 I like you

  • Um wtf? No way in hell will I be doing this to my pets!

  • "Honey, Thumper died."

    WAHHHHHHHH!

    "But, here, I got him taxedemied! You can look at him anytime now!"

    B-b-b-b-b....WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW­AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *skniff* Skawy.

  • @OHTiago that's how I feel. Personally , I want to do this to at least one of my pets when they die, instead of just basically putting them in a box and have ants and maggots crawling through their flesh and insides and eating on them, but no one really looks at it THAT way.....

  • omg this is horrible :O :"(

  • When my cat died,we buried him in my backyard.If my mom asked us if we wanted to do this,I would say no >:(.Same with humans.We're burying a loved one that is basically stuffed with bounds of makeup on with clothes that are not even theirs,so what's the point of burying the body? D:

  • Morbid I wouldn't want to do that to my pet's remains. They should be treated like human remains, laid to rest. However I think the best pose is to have them peacefully sleeping in a comfy pet bed.

  • Taxidermy is a profession I respect completely, but I cannot understand what kind of father would have his daughter's rabbit mounted without her even knowing of her pet's passing.

  • i would rather return them to nature than to let them suffer more...and when he die i wish to see him in hell

  • i would rather return them to nature than to let them suffer more...

  • This is the first taxidermy video I have watched, where the taxidermist was wearing gloves.

  • Taxidermy is one of the most misundertood professions. Most taxidermists care more about animals than most people. It isn't just about having something to show off in a trophy room, its about preserving an animal for years to come. It takes a special kind of person to see the beauty in death. If you can't see it at least respect the taxidermist's opinion.

  • IDK about anyone else,but the dog's expression @ 3:20 creeps me out.....

    I know its a touchy subject for some people when they talk about stuffing their pets. However, personally, I feel that it would just make me sadder looking at my deceased pet knowing he/she is gone. Just because you have your pet's skin back does not mean your pet's soul is in there. I'd rather bury my dog in the place where we used to go to the most or just have her cremated.

  • @ajaykeer23939 Hey my dog names Casper Too LOL his a husky I would do that because his my first dog

  • honestly i think it's disrespectful. you wouldn't stuff your grandmother and display her in your house would you? also, a 5 year old should never even be allowed to own a rabbit. children are stupid and don't know how to treat something as fragile as a rabbit.

  • Seems pretty interesting... I MUST DO THIS TO MY DOG CASPER

  • when my pets die i want the taxidermist to remove the pelt and give me the body to burry and wait a few years and then dig it up and send it to somone who can put the bones together so i can have two pets very costly tho =(

  • The skinning of a pet doesn't seem right. This just seems so wrong.

  • so it's not really even their pet, just their skin

  • haha surprise, you're bunny's dead, but don't worry hunny we stuffed him for you. PUt a bow on him and everything.....

  • that would be awesome if we could do this to humans

  • @flows0fresh

    People have tried this in the past, but have failed because our skin is so delicate it is quite impossible to handle the skin without creating tonnes of bruising, so the 'human taxidermists' just ended up doing clay models. btw, i haven't stuffed any humans, its facts you pick up in life, you learn something new everyday.

  • omg when i seen the title i was gona cry but its not that bad im happer now

  • I would get a mouse taxidemied

  • my mother wants to do this to my dog.... i dont though, yet i want to be with her all the time. and i dont want her in the earth where other animals are taking over.

  • I could not do this to my dog. It would be hard me just watching her stiff.

  • This is a disgrace to the animals and to ourselves as humans. Never in my life have I ever seen anything so appauling. Fuck you and may god have mercy on your soul.

  • dude could you amagine if you did that to a human... o.o

  • @Wolfykinsfromroblox makes no difference just another life

  • @Wolfykinsfromroblox

    MUMMY from ancient Egypt is a good example... =P

  • Who the hell does business like this ?!

  • What they're doing, even though it's with (twisted) love, is disrespecting the dead. They should be ashamed of themselves.

  • I just died a lil inside my thumper died too

  • SICK PEOPLE!!

  • after i watched this i ran to my dog and brought her with me to my room, felt like crying when i was hugging my dog. D:

  • 2 Things.

    1.Pause at 1:58, yup deffinatly a skinned rabbit just chillin on the table...discusting

    2. Imagine if one day the girl saw this?

  • @ytwatcher123321 well yea its the rabbit we just watched him skin...

  • This is SICK! What does he expect his daughter to do? Use it as a wubbie to sleep with?

  • This is a virtual taxidermy - in rememberance of - Chang

  • if it could pass on diseases, why isnt he wearing a face mask?

  • NOOOO BUNNEHHH Q_Q

  • humf, I wouldn't stuff a pet, I'd be so sad seeing its body but with no life within it...

  • so fucking weird.

  • I'm pretty sure teh dude meant his daughter knew it was dead, but didn't know it was getting stuffed.

  • @OwlRAWR I am pretty sure he said she didnt know it was dead..... way to mess with the kids head!

  • when my dog dies i'm going 2 have that done

  • poor thumper :(

  • IDGAF how much it takes!!!! MY cat have been giving me all the happiness and I will give him as much love during his life and after his life no matter how much and how it takes

  • :'(

    JUST SAD.

  • now i can sleep with my dog every night lol

  • ok what happens if they accidently make a big cut?? just give it back and say sorry?

  • why the hell did i watch this?

  • why not just buy the little girl a rabbit that looks like thumper? im pretty sure its waay better than a non-moving rabbit. and it she wont notice the difference of a dead rabbit, and she doesnt noe he is dead, then buy her one that looks like it, common sense!

  • I find pet taxidermy slightly creepy myself in most cases, but I can understand the logic behind it. If I`d had the option I would of had one of my birds done because I really didn`t want to bury him. I would of liked to keep him with me. All I had after his death was a few feathers he`d molted. Sometimes something concrete to remember an animal by can help. I do however disagree with the guy not telling his daughter o-o

  • I cremate my pets... That way I can take them with me where ever I go. ♥ :( but id do that too but... I don't want to... I reather cremate them...

  • So the guy will bring Thumper back home to his small daughter and what? Put it back in its hutch? That's the worst method of teaching his child about death.

  • Something about this seems very wrong. Sometimes you need to learn to let go, as sad as it is. I personally would not want a constant reminder that my pet isn't there- because that's all these are saying. Just because you have the fur of the animal in the same shape doesn't mean you have your pet back. :(

  • can you stuff animals, but instead of the hard foam actually put stuffing in it?

  • @elise3sings I've seen that done with a skunk once, it looks more like a weirdly shaped pillow than an animal though.

  • @elise3sings Yes, look up soft taxidermy or sometimes listed as plush taxidermy. A hard form is inserted in the head and soft stuffing in the rest. From what I know of it it doesn`t last as long as regular rigid form taxidermy

  • This is pretty much the same process as an autopsy and embalming. The coroner skins and guts you, and the mortician flushes you, injects you with formaldehyde and finger paints your face with cheap mascara and wax.

  • @Blutonomous People aren't skinned or gutted during an embalming or autopsy. The organs are biopsied and retuned to the body in an autopsy. The blood is replaced with formaldehyde and dye, to prevent putrefaction before a funeral, during embalming.

    Your comment shows your lack of knowledge on the subject.

  • OMFG

  • I think I'm going to throw up...this is so disturbing. When my pets are gone, they will be buried or cremated...whatever is better for the earth. I would NEVER do this to their body...

  • @ Razzlewolfflight

    I wouldn't be able to do that to my pets. It would only cause more distress of missing them, and staring at there lifeless body wouldn't help. When my Chihuahua had to be put to sleep due to serious seizures he was having my grandmother cremated him.

  • spoiled rotten poeple with money who were so spoiled they have never learned to cope with death, sad,,, idiots

  • EEEEEEEW! to me thats like stuffing my sister... yuck! why would you want them to be in your house, just bury them please!

  • This narrarator sounds terrible...

    Like a voice actor from south park, trying to sound dramatic or something.

  • poor thumper

  • *shutters* yeah I'm going to have to second crystal here....

  • i was just thinking, at it was a joke..

    having the dead family bet body standing next to you book case, is just.. -.-;

    i mean, the animal is dead, the body don't care, but you just can not let the body go, and move on.. what is wrong with people.. -.-;

  • I can't believe I watched this video

  • that would terrify me personally

  • so somewhere theres a rabbit sitting in heaven and all the sudden this guy starts cutting the fur off and this rabbit is all the sudden woken up from the dead? guess its all in what you believe

  • o my...

  • Am I going to hell because I found this amusing?

  • Why would you, they are just animals, They don't feel any pain.(after they die :P)

  • I wonder if I can bring in a dead muslim will they mold it and shape it so I can put it in my living room???

  • Oh my gawd,if I came home and found my now deceased "Enis" stuffed and sitting on my table I would die from a heart attack,and I agree with "bestwishesmaple,they should be left to rest in peace!

  • poor thumper 8/

    lets hope that kid never accidentally looks this up on You Tube a few years from now...

  • I think thats very strange... I dont know how I'd feel if my dog died and came home to find my husband decided to have him brought home lifeless.

  • we should let pets rest in peace instead of making them suffer again AFTHER death :((

  • dude i now!

  • What the hell? How can a pet suffer after its dead? Its dead, not in a paralysis state where its aware and its being skinned alive. Dead, do you understand the meaning of this word? Lifeless, motionless, a corpse cannot feel pain, how can you not understand that?

  • Yes BUT STILL LET THEM REST IN PEACE will you ?

  • ya ur right, just cuz there animals does not mean that theyu do not deserve respect. This is cruel and sick!

  • @jake66664 and tons of others::

    who said anything about SUFFERING? the video title clearly said "stuffing" dead pets, not SUFFERING dea pets. If you can't read, go back to school.

  • Do you not understand the concept of how bad an idea it is to just come into someones conversation? I was replying to someone else's statement saying they were making the dead animal suffer, when it is clearly dead and cannot feel any pain at all, of course I know the video is about stuffing dead animals, I watched it.

    Please, if you continue to barge in and make idiotic statements like that you will not get far in life, at all.

  • 2:24 looks funny:) lmao

  • I could make good money off this if I got really good at it.

  • 2:10 freaks me out.

  • What is the world coming to T___T

  • umm stuffing eachother

  • Yea not for me

  • I think its artistic.

  • this is wrong yaw is just direspecting your own pets

  • i hate it when people do these. pretty god damn sure that this i sanimal cruelty! people should understand that everybody dies.

  • they're dead already.

  • do these people really love their pets i dont think so if they did they would bury it right with peace and let the animal rest in peace not stuff it

  • what he should have done was buy her a new rabbit and explained to her that everything living dies. Imagine its like that little girl out of the horror film that sleeps with dead animals and sings songs to it and shit LOL.

  • hahahaha!

  • I think its an unhealthy practice especially for his little daughter, she will grow up being attached to things that are no longer there, she wont be able to let go of anything and expect everything to be with her forever, thats how people get into the notion of wanting to stuff their husbands and shit. If it was legal people would definitely do it, people r fucked up.

  • PEOPLE STUFF THERE HUSBANDS?!

  • Im sure if it was legal they would. Remember the Elena love story case? The man was having sex with her corpse for years before he was caught cus he couldnt part with her, that is just ONE case, there are plenty more.

  • ew ew ew fucking creeepy as hell

  • i dont like this idea...it sickens me!

    its like killing your pet all over again!

  • poor rabit :( fucing humans!

  • why are you fucking yourself?

  • I wish the dead pet owners could see the procedure and then tell me about the idea,after having seen their pet skinned; gruesomeness...this guy knows himself that it makes no sense, but if the idea becomes income generating than fine for him!...

  • Michael Jackson... Billy Mays... now Thumper. :'(

  • thats kinda mean but on the other side people want their pets remembered

  • damn fukin people are cruel just let him rest in peace

  • stuffing dead animals...

    yeah people be proud..

    here it is another brilliant healthy human idea!

    just sick....

  • i'd rather my dog or my cats to rest in peace rather then not face the fact they've passed away and have their corpse made to look still alive. that's sick. would any humans want that done to them? i don't think so,then why should pets be treated any different?

  • what would they be facing if theyre dead?

  • i saying me facing the fac,not the animals.

  • Stuffing and mounting dead pets is not therapeutic. It would only make me sadder.

  • more sad

  • the point of having a pet is to care for it and love it,

    I don't think you can do this with a fake animal

    :(

  • technically... it's not fake.

  • I could never do this

  • thats creepy to wake up in the morning and see your dead pet looking at you..im gonna have nightmares!And if they start stuffing humans im gonna have a heart attack.

  • this is done to rabbits, cats, foxes, and many other animals to make fur... but they are killed in horrible ways and sometimes skinned alive. please don't buy fur!

  • @opostell are you going to tell me to stop eating meat too ?

  • @opostell their killed nstantlly, and are never i skinned alive, i know this because my dad owns a mink and fox fur ranch, and its nothing like the peta videos, they all have plenty of food, and space and dont resort to canabalism, and never had to sit in their own shit, i work there on and off all the time so i know from experience, all you go by is some shit you saw on he computer

  • @blowgunking1994 Finally, someone who is realistic in this damn world. I thank you.

  • @blowgunking1994, How do t hey kill them then..?

  • @wendyXpeggyXpancho insantly, put in a room thats 3 inches deep with water, than electricity does the rest, the same way they kill hogs, and cows

  • @blowgunking1994, :\ Thats not as bad as i thought

    But its still terrible ._.

  • @blowgunking1994 stop the killings! :'( how would u feel if we skinned your skin? what did the animals ever do to you?

  • its more difficult to do *kiss goodbye* when the pet is in house and dont moving... and when this animal look you because its seem real !!!

    (Sorry for my english, im french :P )

  • th..thats so sad i lost a guinea pig and my dog i loved them and all but that just wrong if their gone let them rest ....

  • 1:59 its just lying there :(

  • that's so true..

    no stupid statue can replace life

    people should just realize that you can't replace the dead with a statue

  • thats horrible. thats very disrespectful of the rabbit and any other pet. we love our pets right? well, GIVE THEM A PROPER BURRYAL! sorry i dont know how to spell. but is that really so hard?

  • Is it so hard to find a dictionary?

  • interesting video...

  • How would you like that job?

  • my dog had died about 2 years ago and i lvoed him. he had to put him down..but seeing him again dead, but stufedd; it would be too harddd. : (

  • The taxidermy part of this is kinda cool, but it would make me too sad to see it happen to one of my pets. The thing that's messed up is that it's the guy's daughter's rabbit and he's having him stuffed when she DOESN'T EVEN KNOW HE'S DEAD! What's he going to do? Just bring it home and not mention it?

  • yeah, i know.

  • This video is really interesting but I don't think I could ever get it done to my cat. It just seems wrong. But this is still a cool video.

  • .......thats sad.......

  • I love my pets to death! but could NEVER do this to them, it seems so wrong.

  • wow, i always wondered how that was done. Cool Vid!

  • that is HORRIBLE! i would never do this to my loved pet. that is very disrespectful

  • i would stuff my pet if it died cool

  • what a rubbish job.

  • WOW

  • It's cheaper to take a picture and get a new rabbit.

  • I love my cat, but, I dunno if I'd want to have her stuffed.

    It's just so unlike her to be so still.

  • whats next? stuffing dead family members?

  • yea, seems like it!

  • this is the weirdest thing i have ever seen.

  • i dont think its bad, im an animal lover, would u just want to bary the animal and never see it again? or would u have it stuffed so u can remember it? its your choice

  • its called being fucking retarded

    you take a mental picture of it move on and let its carcass become the nutriants required to plant a tree or some shit

  • OMG!!!im commenting in the middle of the video cuz i hate it sossosososososososososo much its cruel it hate this11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • =='[ ='[ ='[ ='[ how could somone do this!!!!!!

  • well,the rabbit died...so the body couldn't feel anything, but I personally think that it's wrong because what this man has done is not respective to the dead, you know?

  • jesus grow up lol

  • 1. They aren't their eyes, they're marbles

    2. They're dead, they don't feel, their soul is not there, maybe the family preffered to remember it... Grow up

  • how in the FUCK WOULD HE get fired if that what he does for a living?!

  • their dead already,so chill bitch

  • lmfao XD

  • Reminds me of Egyptian Mummification.

  • the animal probly did in old age so the owner wanted to keep threr pets still in the lives so they get them stuffed

  • Well, this is just another way of helping your dead pet's memories live on.

    May all dead pets rest in peace.

  • how could he do that.poor rabbit

  • Dude the rabbit is dead all they want is to remember the rabbit better
