Headless Teddy Bear Lamp is Too Much for us to Bear

Someone call the Humane Society for Animal Rights, because poor defenseless animals are being abused and being mutilated. So what if it isn’t an actual living breathing animal - teddy bears are dear to our hearts, and it pains us to see what some cruel entrepreneurs will do to them to make an easy buck. The Teddy Bear Lamp consists of a regular light bulb and lamp shade situated on top of a headless teddy bear’s body. This is not a photo to let the kids get a peak at. Even the product description is despicable ” The black fabric covered shade supplied is a reflective gold on the inside to enhance Teddy’s golden features and his plump body enables you to park him where you please without fear of him toppling over. Poor Ted may have lost his head, but he definitely lights up the room!” You can purchase the Teddy Bear Lamp for a Price: £59.99 - but you wouldn’t do that now, would you?
