White Urges Fans Not To Give Him Any More Stuffed Animals

THE White Stripes star Jack White is urging fans not to give him any more taxidermied animals to add to his collection - because he's often unimpressed with their presents.

White has spent years buying up stuffed creatures, but he doesn't like seeing them in "comedic poses" and is asking devotees not to buy him any more funny gifts - because he just finds them "insulting".

He tells Maxim magazine, "I don't have much choice in the matter - I feel like a rescuer, a Humane Society employee. There's a majesty to these animals that I want to preserve; I can't see them looked at in a comedic way.

"Sometimes people get it wrong, and it's so insulting. They'll buy me a squirrel playing pool or some s**t like that."
