Would you stuff your pet?

Tweet

Let's say your dearest pet had died. Would you consider stuffing (embalming/taxidermy) your pet to keep it with your forever? Would you see any points against this practice? Any emotional, moral, ethical impediments? Do you think this would be a good idea or would you be disgusted or freaked out by it? If you'd stuff your pet, what kind of pose would you like to immortalize it in? Standing, lying down, licking himself, something else? Where would you keep your embalmed pet? Over the fireplace, next to your television set,...?
