Humane officers say a Pennsylvania woman marketed "gothic kittens" with ear, neck and tail piercings over the Internet. Officers with the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals removed three kittens and a cat Wednesday from a home outside Wilkes-Barre, about 20 miles southwest of Scranton. Officer Carol Morrison says the society got a tip that the Ross Township woman was selling the pierced kittens on the Internet. She says, "It's unbelievable anybody would do this to kittens."

Looks more like a “big cat”, not a kitten, to me.

I used to shy away from being “judgemental” in the presence of my children. They are 7 and 10.

I guarantee you the first thing out of my 4th grade boy’s mouth would be an uncoached and unprovoked “that’s just stupid.”

To which I will reply, “You are correct in your assessment, son.”

There was absolutely no cruelty involved in the whole Bonsai Kitten flap. That’s what made it all so funny.

“Do flies throw up?”

My daughter is heading up the research team for that question. We’re waiting for some funding, if we can leverage an MBDA the fed should free up some cash in the early part of 2009.

At least that’s what we “hope”.

Well, giving the cat some piercings would make it easier to find it with a metal detector. Then there's also the big electromagnet for when the cat is hiding right before a trip to the V-E-T.

Actually, I’m considering a new tag line.

How much?

This whole thread should be dumped. It seems to bring out the sadism in many freepers.
