Taxidermist's pet pillows panned

SPRING CREEK, Nev., April 10 (UPI) -- An "alternative way to remember your pet" scheme by a Nevada taxidermist involving making pillows from the skins of dead pets has not been well greeted.

Taxidermist Jeanette Hall says she has received "hundreds of hate e-mails from all over the globe" complaining about the pillows, which she has produced from the skins of pet cats, dogs, cows and horses.

Some of the e-mail addressed her as the "devil incarnate" or "Cruella DeVille," the Sunday Telegraph reported.

Hall charges $65 to skin a cat, as much as $125 to skin a dog and $150 to skin a horse. She says using the skin of a dead pet is "a great way to enjoy your cherished pet," but once her service was advertised on the Internet, she started receiving threatening e-mail.

"I had people threatening to burn down my house," she told the Telegraph.
