like jelly in a jar

Q: What do all these animals have in common?

...

A: THEY'RE DEAD.

Pet preservation. One word: creepy. I would not want my dead dog staring back at me 365 days a year.

This is different from traditional taxidermy. Most taxidermists won't touch pets because they can't get them to look the same at all. But with pet preservation, they freeze the animal, use some sort of vaccuum that sucks out all the moisture, so then you're left with a frozen, but now dry (and therefore not meltable) animal. Pretty gross if you ask me.

If you want to always see Schnookums there, get a painting done, or a sculpture, or just anything other than the carcass sitting right there in your living room.

And don't make pillows out of your beloved animals either. That's just as creepy.

That is desgusting, I would neverdo that. And also cloning your pets is stupid, why not just get a new pet, i am sure you will say the same thing as to the last pet, "Your the best pet I've ever had!" Lol.
