Taxidermy "Mouse"

[yuandrew]

Darell's thread on a new computer mouse just reminded me of this web page I came across a few months ago.

I can see the potential of someone selling furry mice as a PC accessory....but I must admit the development of this new design is anything but pleasant

just as I can see the potential of using mice to set infrared beacons using specially designed suits but the emergence of that idea is also anything but pleasant


I've had 5 years of experience breeding hamsters and I don't see why people would do something like that:mecry:

One word: YUCK!!!!!

That's what I was just going to say..."farking YUCKO!!!" :green:
I raised (and to some extent, bred) pet rats for nearly ten years; when they're young, they kinda look like mice.

Dude, you're a psychopath. ;-)

When I was in college, a female friend of mine (a zoology major) had to stuff a mouse as one of her class projects. From what I understand, about half the student body comes to class on the due date with the excuse that the dog ate their homework (and are completely serious).

Creative I guess, but also :sick2::green::eeksign:! I know my mom would puke instantly if I did something like that.

Of course, so are wall mounted antlers and other trophy animals that are kept in some families for years when properly taxidermied and left untouched.

If it was a fake and functional furry thing it would be different.
Heck, I would love something like that.

Still, a taxidermied and then frequently handled dead critter can't be good. :sick2:
