I think people are most unsettled because it’s taken so nonchalantly that you dug up your pet’s corpse and desecrated it.

Yes, the term desecration is for human remains, but why shouldn’t the same respect for the dead be exercised for an animal, especially your pet?

Yes bones have been used in art for centuries, but you wouldn’t do this to a human loved one’s skeletal remains(or maybe you would if there weren’t laws against it? Idk)

Idk, but you posted this and I can’t imagine you didn’t think it’d unsettle a good portion of people. You do you, but if these are what the comments are looking like, I could only imagine if you tried to put this at an art show…

As someone who appreciates art and this perspective, I understand your feelings, but I’m truly surprised that you’re shocked you’ve gotten a negative reaction from this, when just about every religion and culture has rules and ethics against doing this sort of thing to any corpse.
