Badly stuffed animals: The creatures who will never know the meaning of dignity in death

These poor animals would be horrified if they could see themselves now.

Stuffed, stretched, made to pull faces and turned into furniture, these pictures show what happens when taxidermy either goes very wrong or carried out by people with a rather sick sense of humour.

They are the latest set of images to have been posted on a Facebook page aptly named Badly Stuffed Animals, which has been 'liked' nearly 45,000 times.

Wouldn't be spotted dead like that: This sorry leopard has been fashioned into some kind of stool or seat

Give me some privacy! This cat will forever be going to the toilet thanks to some rather twisted taxidermists

Perversely practical: This rodent has been crafted into a tiny set of drawers which protrude from his stomach You looking at me?! It's anyone's guess what animal this is. Answers on a postcard, please

The pictures feature some of the world's best-known creatures, including a leopard fashioned into some kind of stool or seat, a bird dressed in a suit and a cat sitting in a litter tray.

Some users have failed to see the funny side, however, with one calling it 'very creepy'.

Previous pictures featured on MailOnline included a fox that had been stretched with a horrendous stoat-like creature widely found on the UK's shores also on display.

The taxidermists even managed to get creative by gutting the insides of a pair of moles to make shoes.

Permanently startled: This fox has been made to pull a face a rather undignified face in its afterlife

Why so sad?

Cat got your tongue? This leopard clearly has something to shout about, while this poor polar bear looks like he's got a permanent case of the chills



I've got my eye on you: This Llama, left, has been left in a perpetual state of alarm while this deer barely resembles the original species



Monkey business: This monkey looks deranged thanks to some very dodgy taxidermy skills



On the back foot: This two-legged donkey gives new meaning to the term wonky donkey



Fur-ball abuse: This stuffed dog appears to have plenty to smile about in the afterlife while the wild boar, right, could benefit from a haircut



A helping hand: A stuffed gorilla doesn't seem to have mastered Godzilla's scare tactics while this dog will spend eternity in a state of surprise



There's a new sheriff in town! This squirrel will no doubt have no trouble fending off the stoat-like creatures (below) who might be on the lookout for his Meerkat double!



Full stretch ahead: The fox hunters and their hounds might be put off by this fox next time they're out in their numbers



A pardon for your sins! Perhaps this priest will look kindly on man's cross-eyed best friend!
