Wah doo ya huv ta do dis teh meh?
Some woman in Pennsylvania was marketing and selling little Gothic kittens for hundreds of dollars each. The things people will do for money. PETA found out and raided her home. I wonder what they found (hampsters with pierced nipples with bling bling and a ferret with a prince albert, probably). She needs a psych evaluation.
At first the image makes me wanna go “awww”, but then I look at it’s poor face and realize that if it could talk, it’d say something like, “Wah doo ya huv ta do dis teh meh?” — without the cute accent, of course.
First of all, why does the woman use belly button rings for the ears? And did she use the same earrings for the male cats? No one wants a Boy George kitty.
Just look at the heavy metal balls on the end of the rings, that cat must have been walking around with it’s faced pressed hard against the floor and it’s legs stuck up in the air, doing a catwalk on it’s front legs.
I wonder what she was thinking? “Hey, I wonder if I put belly button rings on some kittens’ ears, and maybe another one on the nape of the neck, maybe I could sell them for $600 a cat?”, “Oh, and I’ll just say they’re Gothic cats.” Like the cat even knows it’s Gothic. “Iz it cuz um bwack?”.
I fell the urge to put baggy pants and some bling bling on my cat and sell it for $600 as a gangster cat. Anyone interested? I only accept Paypal.
Is this animal abuse? Obviously.
If you don’t think so — stay away from my cat. It’s “ab-use”: abnormal use. I’m pretty sure this is abnormal use of cats and their ears and necks. The cat is forced into withstanding the pain — it doesn’t ask, it can’t say no – all for the person so they can get a kick out of it and then sell it like it; hopefully not to the Chinese. Although it probably doesn’t hurt them much, just as human piercing (most) doesn’t hurt (arguably), but the cats are likely very uncomfortable and annoyed as hell, and hate it.
She’d have to grab the little defenseless kitten, securely hold it so it doesn’t move, and then bam, stick it.
Animals are tagged all the time — cows, pigs, etc. — but these aren’t little kittens. Little kittens have delicate ears and the earring could easily get caught on something and tear it’s ear. And what about when it’s diggin’ at it’s ears, tryin’ to get those flees, and it’s claw on it’s foot catches on it and rips the earring out of it’s own ear?
If you done the same thing to someone, you’d be charged with assault and battery.
