I'll admit that I've abused Cheetos.
Precious babies. How could anyone treat them so?
Where's PETA when they are actually needed???????????
Wonder if our military is rounding up all the stray cats, or just the ones they like...
Now are we sure that our troops and Bush are not responsible for their abuse? A major investigation is neccessary.
A 9mm each for Mo & Abe & Nur, burn the restaurant, and take the animals into 'protective custody'.
Poor kitties!
How could people blow themselves up to murder other people?
Not exactly cats or dogs, but I thought people on your ping lists might be interested in this story.
It's a cliffhanger, the rataurant owner, Mohamed, in Gode, Ethiopia, who abused them in the first place doesn't want to give them up.
They're at home eating tofurkey left overs.
What a sad and disturbing picture. We reveal ourselves and our character in how we treat the small and the innocent.
Good idea!
Maybe get the kids outta there and out of the habit of molesting innocent animals,before they become serial killers.
"I don't see why I should hand them over," Mohamed said. "When I was younger I looked after goats and camels, so I know what animals need."

I guess to them abusing animals is "normal".
It's things like this that tell you that most of Sub-Saharan Africa is years, if not generations away from civilized existance. Two abused cheetah cubs, reprehensible as it may be, is not the most serious issue in the region, but it paints a portrait of the general lack of respect for life in the area. The children learn it from a very young age, and as long as these types of things are not just tolerated, but instilled into the people of Africa, they will continue to live in horrible conditions, die by the thousands from disease and war, and generally be a thorn in the side of the rest of the civilized world.
Does any good news ever come from over there? I hope this story get the happy ending it deserves.
I say just walk up to his "establishment",put a gun to his forehead and tell him the kitties are leaving...just like that.What a piece of garbage.
Someone else on this thread asked where PETA is....
Hell,they've got more important things to worry about,like traumatizing small children into thinking their parents are bloodthirsty killers.
For that matter, just about any foreign country you name will bring you to tears when you see how animals are treated there. All thses years later I cannot forget the blinded, starving, three-legged stray dog I saw desperately looking for garbage in an empty lot in Madrid while the locals walked by, uncaring. I cannot forget the starving kittens begging for food outside a restaurant in the Azores while people walked by and one kid tormented them as they mewed pitiously. A friend had to stop me from beating the crap out of one guy and remind me what a Portugese prison would be like. I can't forget the starving dogs staggering down the street in Cavite City, The Phillipines while people ignored them.
The rest of the world is largely a hell hole of cruelty and neglect. No one should be allowed to vote in the USA until they've spent at least six months overseas.
