Rat Gizzard, an Australian taxidermist and influencer, has stirred controversy by launching a line of women's underwear crafted from taxidermied rats, selling for around £100 each. With over 20,000 followers, she claims her materials are ethically sourced from a reputable farm that provides frozen pet food. However, the product's unconventional nature has drawn sharp criticism, with many commentators questioning the morality of using animal corpses for fashion. Rat Gizzard states that her creations, which also include lamps and lighters made from rodent pelts, cannot be washed and should ideally be displayed as art. She recommends using a panty liner for hygiene if worn. Despite her assertions of ethical practices, critics remain unconvinced, arguing that the act of creating clothing from dead animals is inherently disrespectful. In response to the backlash, Rat Gizzard emphasized the necessity of sourcing these rats for her pets, asserting that her aim was to promote humane treatment of animals.
