Scary Patterns X: Stuffed Animal Abuse
This picture reminds me of movies where the hero is chained to the wall in some dark, damp, dismal dungeon. In this case, cute little animals are stuffed with plastic bags, chained to the wall, forced to dispense the bags out of...how to say this politely?...their nether regions...stuffed animal lovers, please avert your eyes.

I keep my plastic bags in a plain bag on the back of my kitchen door. No stuffed animals are abused by my recycling efforts.
