    Ok, that's just freaking weird. The dried pet fish and cards they gave him just makes it very macabre.

    I have to agree with everyone....this is macabre. Gives me the shivers to think of keeping something like that.

    I think perhaps the 'strangest' part of this story is that his neice goes to day-care but is allowed to create a Myspace page!

    Gross.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    I thought this sounded sacrilegious in a way. It was a human baby and
    deserves the same respect as other dead bodies.

    The family that would do this without second thought sounds goulish to me.

    I would hope the judge would want a DNA sample taken...who knows who this poor baby was?

    I wasn't clear on why the judge ruled as he did, as it seemed based on kinship? So, if the guy could positively prove it was his kin, he could keep on displaying the mummy like he was?

    The judge has no right! burial is a religious thing. (Well, OK so maybe the judge does have some say so based on laws dealing with human remains.)

    I'm so sick and tired of people trying to push their views on others.

    Them keeping a mummified baby around is harming no one! (Though certainly it would be nice to test it and find out where it came from... to make sure it didn't come from the black market.)

    Who's to say which death rite is proper and which isn't?!

    I've actually always found it sick and wrong to hole someone in a cement culvert, but i don't go around picketing cemeteries or telling people that.

    Don't you think that maybe your notions on these things have more to do with the culture in which you were raised? ("You" in general, no one in particular.)

    (That's been pent up since even before the freeze dried pet thread.)

    Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.
