    Taxidermy is massive at the moment. No idea why anyone would want a dead stuffed animal in their home, but people are willing to pay good money for it

    It's nice to know I'm not alone in being turned off by the sight of dead animals on display - I just don't get the attraction of corpses, whatever the member of the animal kingdom.

    At a London art gallery, on exhibition, I saw a draw from a chest, filled to the brim with concrete, topped with a stuffed squirrel, face down, half-submerged in the concrete.

    I knew the staff on reception, and as I turned to speak to them, they burst out laughing, one commenting "Don't ask! We only work on reception - we don't select this stuff!" :D

    Urghh, thats horrible. If I saw that in someone's home I would think they were a bit creepy & twisted?

    So I can't sell used reuseable nappy cover on ebay, but a dead animal is fine.

    Go figure.

    It's perfectly legal to sell a dead grey squirrel. It is however a criminal offence to sell a live grey squirrel. (Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006 I believe.)
