I was looking up puppets, trying to find my niece a plush guinea pig for her birthday in August. That just gives me nightmares.

If you haven't already found the puppet, it's made by Folkmanis. You can find it on ebay all the time. Here is an example. https://cgi.ebay.com/New-Folkmanis-GUINEA-PIG-HAND-PUPPET-12-Long_W0QQitemZ190005129104QQihZ009QQcategoryZ11741QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

That is so gross. My mouth dropped when I read they were stuffed piggies being used for freakin' entertainment. That would cause me more nightmares than entertainment. My kids would also freak. They would be mortified. No pun intended.

Honestly, some people are beyond me.

I remember some years back (I was still at school) being invited to my neighbours, I sat down on the sofa next to an alsation dog. I then realised that the dog wasn't moving, which bothered me, when I looked closer I realised that it was stuffed - they had stuffed and kept the family dog when it had died!

Roy Rogers, he had his horse Trigger stuffed.
I personaly could never do it. People use to tease me that I was going to have my dog Whiskey stuffed when she passed away. That really would have freaked me out. I had her buried with the ashes of my other two dogs who passed before her in my life time.

I have a sneaky suspicion that that may ahve been how they filmed the egg adverts. If this commercial didn't show outside the UK, it's an advert for a creadit card that features guinea pigs, which look as though they're alive thanks to the wonders of technology. It is so realistic I have to wonder if they used these sort of puppets and then added finishing touches with computers?

It looks to me like some idiots don't have anything better to do. I don't care how the piggies died, that's still cruel. The previous owner couldn't have respected the lives of those piggies if they just gave their skins away like that. Some people just plain "SUCK"!

My heart would break everytime I saw my piggies stuffed. I love them too much to see them stiff like that even if they had already passed.
