I was surfing around the net looking up different kitten things as I absolutely adore kittens of all types... (but thats a no brainer.. I mean.. I'm here at TCS aren't I?) I found a very disturbing website that brought tears to my eyes. A few hours later when Craig was home from work.. I showed him.
This site was about "Bonsai Kittens". Has anyone ever heard of this?!?! On the site they say its an oriental practice. I say its cruel. They take these kittens and stuff them in different shaped jars. They ventilate the jars and put a feeding tube in the kitten. Apparently you keep the kitten like that for a certain amount of time.. then take him out and he will permanently be in the shape of whatever the jar was. I was outraged to find this site.. and read some of the emails that they have gotten.
After showing Craig.. he was also very very disturbed and did a little more research. (He is a computer guru) Soon after he found another site.. this was like an animal cruelity site or something.. and apparently they had heard many many things about this "Bonsai Kitten" site. They say that this is a total fraud and that the site was simply put up to cause an outrage and effect the many people like us out there that care about animals.
THAT just added to my outrage. How sad is that?? That someone would put something like that up just to make people mad and cause problems? Isn't it bad enough that real things like this happen on a daily basis?
Has anyone else ever heard of this Bonsai Kitten stuff? Or any of this that I have been talking about?
The person that has that site up and going should be shot for having such a sick sense of humor. Or at least institutionalized (sp its too early!) for the rest of his life. I fear that if he can do this to make people mad/sad/etc then what will he do next?
