Note by Leem: I recently came across Taral’s original description of this (and several other) pictures on the Furry Perils Yahoo! Group (membership required, and approval may take several weeks if my own experience is anything to go by.)

No one ever paid this hostage’s ransom, so he was auctioned instead.
(The file name is also a joke on “knapping” stone, to break it with a hammer.)

No, must admit I didn’t get the pun... I’d also assumed that the ransom demand might not have been made yet, and that his friends and family could have walked right past his “statue” several times without realising that it really was him. BTW, notice how whenever somebody with glasses gets petrified their specs always remain transparent.

RECYCLE!
This pose is an exact mirror image of Barefoot Lament on Taral’s Furaffinity site, where the boy’s colouring makes it clear that he’s a skunk. In that image’s User Comments Taral notes: “For once its a "he" actually, but young (maybe 12) and androgynous to be sure.”
