By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/a-taxidermist-from-new-zealand-provoked-a-scandal-by-auctioning-a-handbag-made-of-a-cat.htmlThe network has an opportunity to buy a fashion accessory that cannot be called a cat in a bag. Just because it's a cat bag. A strange and creepy accessory that includes the untouched head of a fashion victim is for sale on the New Zealand resource TradeMe, and the starting price bites: this is 1450 New Zealand dollars.
The description of the one-of-a-kind "glamorous pussy handbag" says that it was created by professional taxidermist Claire Hobbs, who through her work expresses artistic passion and desire to design the surreal, especially using wild and domestic cats.

It also states that Claire Hobbs did not kill anyone to create the handbag. The representative of the online trading platform Logan Mudge said that the company made sure that there was no animal abuse. "Of course, this is a bold bag, and although I wouldn't buy one, we suspect that there will be a buyer ready to buy it. This is a rather unusual bag, and we expect that the auction will attract a lot of attention in the next few days," said Logan Mudge.
Despite this, many criticized the bag. The head of the animal rights organization Save Animals From Exploitation, Hans Crick, said that the bag is tasteless and offensive. "If you make such bags out of people, it would be completely unacceptable... Isn't a bag made of a cat worse than an umbrella stand made of an elephant's leg?"
In New Zealand, it is allowed by law to engage in taxidermy from the bodies of animals that died of natural death or were euthanized in a clinic. In the comments under the publication of the lot, some were interested in whether it was a joke, others asked how the animal died, others said that something was wrong with this person. There was also a user who called the bag beautiful and praised the designer's creation. No one was particularly confused that the body of a real cat was used for the bag. By the way, the cat died under the car, and the taxidermist found her body by the road.
The auction will end on Wednesday evening, and someone will surely show off an unusual new thing. In the photo — other creations of the same master.
