In insisting that this is thrown away...

[vulgarbunting]

DH has a best friend with a penchent (sp?!) for taxidermy (urgh). They had a lads night out about a month ago where one of them gifted the friend with a new (not sure what the correct term is) dead, stuffed animal.

In the drunkeness that ensued it was left at our house...and the friend hasn't been back to collect it since. DH put it in a cupboard and I have just accidentally grabbed it whilst searching for something else.

AIBU to insist that our house is taxidermy free? I'm not sure whether I am overreacting and it actually isn't that big a deal...

What got stuffed?

A baby duck

Gross. I find taxidermy for anything other than educational purposes disrespectful.

Oh dear :( but I think you should get the friend to pick it up, not throw it away. Gross though it is, it doesn't seem right to bin his present.

Ugh a baby duck. Tell dh to contact his friend to come and collect it .

You are overreacting. It's just a dead duck.

Yuck! Get rid of it as soon as possible

lavishly gift wrap and give it back.

I know it's a pain but could you post it to the friend if he's too far to drop it round?

Just send him the bill.

Tell him to get the duck out of your house. Or something that sounds similar

I would just throw it away now
If he asks, at a later date, where it is just tell him no idea ( which will be true as you will have no idea where the bin men have taken it)

Send it to me. I love stuffed animals

Ive got several stuffed ducklings. Send him my way

Send him a text saying he is to collect it by a certain date then throw it away if he hasn't

Tie its legs & wings, blindfold it and send him a photo with a ransom demand.

I would have to chuck it outside as most taxidermy freaks me out

Just send him the bill.

Probably wants the body, legs and wings too though

No idea, but I can hardly type with laughing so much at the thought of you suddenly stumbling on a stuffed duckling while rummaging in a cupboard .

My grandparents were antiques dealers, particularly collecting taxidermy so it always takes me by surprise that some people find taxidermy out of the ordinary or weird. But you don't like what you don't like, so tell him to take it back or you're getting rid, asap.

I have a friend who loves taxidermy. She has a bird called "Edgar Allen Crow".

Send it back to him

Alison and Goodcompany LOL

Take it to friend and leave it on the doorstep. Then text to say it's there when you are safely away.

Loving the suggestions!! Ransom note is actually going to happen...
