How is that stuffed horse any different than a stuffed deer head hanging on someone's wall? In my opinion it's not. That is, however, based on the fact, that the horse was not harmed with the intent to be an art piece. And if that is not the case, then that, perhaps, is better than the stuffed deer head hanging on the wall. The chicken beheading, however, is going a little overboard I think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992881453598446374.post-50878882764406022622008-07-24T16:13:00.000+10:002008-07-24T16:13:00.000+10:00Have a nice time.My best wishes.God bless you and...Have a nice time.My best wishes.God bless you and your family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992881453598446374.post-71384164995104403412008-07-24T07:23:00.000+10:002008-07-24T07:23:00.000+10:00hi everyone..thanks for all your fabulous comments...hi everyone..thanks for all your fabulous comments.. :)<BR/><BR/>I'll answer each of your comments personally when I resume blogging on the 28th July... :) :)<BR/><BR/>ps Mariuca...I've taken a "painting" break :)Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08308898926898440376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3992881453598446374.post-73726500433515535962008-07-24T05:24:00.000+10:002008-07-24T05:24:00.000+10:00I'm always amazed at what people call "art."
