What the actual fuck?

So, a while ago, there was this post on tumblr going around with an attempt to bring attention to this deviation (warning: if you are squeamish or sensitive to skinned animals, do not click the link). They wanted people to report it, not because it was a dead animal, but because the "taxidermist" could not prove that the animal was a stray. They picked up a dead cat on the side of the road and practiced on it.

That, my followers, is illegal. If it is someone's pet, it is illegal to skin the pet without the owners permission (dead or alive).

Imagine you are a cat owner. You've lost your cat and you have no idea where it is or what happened to it. Would you want to find out someone picked up your animal and skinned it for practice? I would be devastated.

They admitted it was a freaking pet.

I reported it. Do you know what deviantart said?

There was nothing wrong with it.

There are no words to describe my frustration right now.
