That reads like satire.

Perhaps he was merely testing the animal's hide to see what it would look like if he had hair.

On the plus side, they post his miserable mug for all to see and, hopefully, shun.

what a person who wears a guinea pig pelt as a "head ornament" may look like

/hot

Weird...I went into the article assuming I'd be all like "how is what this guy did any different than major corporations that butcher cows or snakes for their skins"

then...

I read it was a guinea pig, saw the batshiat crazy picture of the guy and read about teh religious articles on his door and realized it was WAAY different.

/dude should be committed.

So, I wonder what the pet store owner does when someone comes in to buy a mouse for their snake's dinner.

From Wal-Mart.

Yes, it farking depresses me, too.

/Do you have any idea how many people think there's a "meat" layer somewhere between the fat and muscle layers in animals?
//Kill something and eat it, pansies. It tastes better that way.

Article does not indicate how the animal died and therefore if said death was cruel, natural, unnatural, etc.

If this guy says nothing other than 'I want a lawyer' I would expect this to get dismissed - who is to say the guinea pig didn't die of natural cause and that he then decided to make it into a hat?
 
2010-03-12 11:49:41 AM
I like animals, a lot, but this is farking ludicrous.

I guess my Grandma just got damn lucky that she died before the authorities found out that she used to pull the heads off of her chickens, pluck their feathers, and then *gasp* EAT THEM!!

My grandparents also raised rabbits and we skinned and ate some of them as well. I even once gave a rabbit pelt, which I had skinned and cured myself, to one of my grade school teachers.

IMO it's really only "cruelty" if he skinned it alive.....or intentionally tortured it in some way prior to killing it humanely.

This.

Also, where does this leave things like white rats used for research?

Was TFA for reals? I'm very glad they included a description of his door, but I am disappoint there were no pics of him wearing the alleged head ornament.
Glad Gomez moved quickly on this one.

Well done. Just what I came here to see.
 
2010-03-12 11:51:17 AM
That's wrong.

As long as you put the animal down as quickly and humanely as possible, you should be able to skin an animal and use the hide.

So if I buy a live mouse to feed to my python, that's a crime?

What's the problem, assuming he kills the animals in a humane manner? People make clothing out of animals all the time. It's big business.

Not that I particularly WANT to kill my own cow to make a leather jacket, but if I did, why not? And besides, most pet stores sell feeder animals for reptiles anyway, like worms and mice, and sometimes even rabbits.

But it's cute and fluffy so killing it must be wrong? Horse hockey.

I'd go with a raccoon, but if we're sticking to critters you might find in a pet store a Persian cat would be good.

upon reading TFA more completely, it appears this fine specimen of humanity was... attending Catholic discussion groups?

I don't know about North Virginia but in Chicago the church groups talk about books or go out for drinks after evening mass, they don't skin animals.

I tried that, but she gets the scent & then winds up chasing herself in circles.

I don't know how all pet stores operate but my wife is a manager at one of the national chains. According to her if someone tells them they're going to buy a mouse for a snake to eat they'll refuse the sale.

There's just something about killing anything for the sole purpose of using it as an unusual hat that screams "crazy."

"Anything that you could consider a companion animal, even down to a reptile," she said. "Animals that you would buy from a pet store. Every call and every situation is different, but animal cruelty is pretty cut and dry."

No pun intended, but it was pretty cut and dry.
