For most people, human and animal life is equal, and every life deserves our respect, but in the eyes of a few people, they feel that animals are inferior to humans and should be restrained by humans.
So they never take animal life for granted, or even use it to do things that make themselves profitable. In the 1890s, Walter Potter produced a unique specimen called The Cat's Wedding.
It is currently on display at the Museum of Morbid Anatomy in Brooklyn, New York as part of an exhibition on the theme "Specimen Peeling: Art, Science, and Immortality."
This specimen attracted the attention of many people at that time because the raw material of this specimen was made by peeling off the fur of a live cat. Twenty kittens were covered in the specimen, forming a grand pet wedding.
Consisting of a bride, groom, priest and witness, these cats are dressed in fitting and ornate dresses. It is reported that these dresses were sewn by the specimen maker and his assistant.
In addition to the gorgeous dresses, there are also some gorgeous ornaments, all of which are exquisite. Although the whole specimen looks very delicate, the thought of twenty live cats hidden behind it makes people feel cold on their backs.
The specimens of these cats all looked lifelike, as if they were still alive, and although the specimens were exquisite, they felt a sense of disrespect for life, and the incidents of peeling and making specimens in that era were common.
Fortunately, specimens of this style are no longer prevalent, otherwise I don't know how many poor cats will be killed.
