Castrating cats for entertainment is reprehensible and I think anyone who buys a sampled version of same should be ashamed of themselves.

I used to play the bagpipes and these actually sound pretty good. Unfortunately the finger positions are completely unauthentic so it will take some significant practice just to get a decent tune out of them.

I would actually love to figure out how to use a subtractive synth to get a realistic bagpipe sound. The other day I even made a drone sound and then played some Amazing Grace and Scotland The Brave over the top using a keyboard. But I still need to work on the drone as it just isn't quite right. (a modification of a Sunrizer Cfa_Vincage_Analog_Va bank, cs80a sound)
