While I appreciate the concept of giving a poor animal a burial of sorts... I don't like that it was done as a joke, or at least seemed to be... or that this person took a dying creature and dressed it up (if it had been human, what happened would be abuse I think....probably illegal too, but ignoring that..) ... It seems like... not that moles have integrity, or maybe they do, I don't know... I just don't like the whole "oh dying creature, let's dress it up and takes pictures of it and then when it dies do this!" It seems sort of cruel... and disrespectful toward the creature's death. So I'm going with my vote on sad :( Then again, I am very touchy with animals. Who knows, maybe everything was sincere.
I guess I didn't notice that he was still alive? It seemed to me that the mole was dressed up after it passed away? I would agree it'd be sad if it was dressed up while dying. That'd be very unfortunate; whether mole's have integrity or not, I'm sure they would like to rest peacefully in their final moments.
It was an interesting link. I am a little uneasy about this "animal death --> profits" theme on the web. Here, the mole died, and he's selling t-shirts. There was that prior website I ran into that had the "I'll eat this bunny unless you buy these t-shirts" deal. You know?
