    “free” they’re conveniently leaving out the cost to grow one to the proper size. And peeling them is a messy nightmare. I would do it in a tub or outside.

      Easier just to leave them on an anthill. (I feel gross for having made this joke, thanks internet)

          Those beetles are expensive and traceable.

          Buy a pig. One pig can strip a body in hours, and nobody will think you’re weirder than wanting a pig. You’ll need to starve it for a couple of days first.

          They’ll eat the bones too, though, so keep a close eye on it if you want the skeleton.

          And now I’m on a list for looking this up.

              That’s why you need to keep a close eye on it. Don’t be afraid to take the bones when they’ve been stripped, just jump in there, and watch your ankles and dangly bits.
