Dead squirrels

[greenblueberries]

So my DH came home with a big bag he was carrying through the house out to the garden. I asked him what it was and he said dead squirrels as he wants to skin them and use the fur for knife handles or some shit. Obviously I blew my top and he thinks I'm over reacting when I said get rid of them.
He was given them from somebody at work who did some skinning at scouts
He can't see why I'm reacting the way I am so hopefully I can make him see that I'm not the only one that would not be okay with this.
He's gone to dispose of them now but he isn't happy. Ianbu? Am I?

Obviously I blew my top

If it is so obvious to you, did you not explain in a rational way? Maybe it is not so obvious to him.

Eh? For knife handles?!

I asked him how he thought I would react. He said not happy about it but I thought as long as you didn't see them you would be okay.
Why didn't he just go and hide them in the shed then. He carried them through my house in front of my face. In a bag but still

He likes to make things and sell them. I think this was going to be his new venture

So next Xmas you will have a posh set of cutlery for the lunch then??

Meh I think you're over reacting
Not like he killed and skinned them in front of you

Who the fuck has knifes with fur handles?!

Hunting knifes I think he meant. I guess he was going to buy some and then cover them? I don't know really

If you have a shed yabu he can do it there. It would be a bit of a liberty to do it in the living room I agree.

Don't see the issue, unless he was planning to do it at the kitchen table or similar?

The shed is jam packed so would have to be in back garden. Where my DS toys are and he plays. It just makes me feel a bit sick. we went to look at squirrels in the park last week

Make squirrel pie once he's skinned and gutted them. No point wasting them!

I don't see that it is very different to sorting rabbits or pheasants. Squirrels taste OK

I think yabu a little bit

You can't dictate to him what he can and can't do

If he wants to do hunting knifes with squirrel fur that's his choice

BUT!! If he knows you don't like things like this, he should have taken them straight to the shed not parade them in front of you

Okay Iabu I shall apologise. I honestly didn't think I was. I hate hunting and things.
You're right I can't control him. He did say it was controlling of me
Damn.

arguing with your husband won't make them any less dead. It must be hard when you have opposing views on things like hunting though xx

My DH reckons that's a cover story. What was really in the bag?

How did they die?

As they were dead already and he would have skinned them you could have got him to gut them too and make you a nice squirrel stew.

Just think ... in the zombie apocalypse, you'll have one of the few people who knows how to properly skin a squirrel.

I think they were shot with the purpose of skinning them with scout kids. The work mate that gave them to DH Had them for that reasons as he's a volunteer.

I wouldn't have a problem, but then I have a set of bin bags in the car to pick up dead pheasants and last year had a deer skin that I tried to cure (disaster,.... but hey)

If you're wondering what they taste like. They taste nutty! Used to know friend of a friend who ate them. I had to ask.

Ooh Sussex, I'd love to cure a skin - they made it sound pretty easy in Clan of the Cave Bear etc, but I bet it would be pretty stinky?

YABU.

Why can't some women appreciate a nice bag of dead squirrels?!
