What the Hell was that?

:eek:
this is what it told me in the email:

"FOR EVERYONE WHO LOVES ANIMALS This is sick. A site that we were able to shut last year has returned. We have to try to shut it down again! A
Japanese man in New York breeds and sells kittens that are called BONSAI
CATS. That would sound cute, if it weren't kittens that were put in to
little bottles after being given a muscle relaxant and then locked up for
the rest of their lives. The cats are fed through a straw and have a small
tube for their feaces. The skeleton of the cat will take on the form of the
bottle as the kitten grows. The cats never get the opportunity to move. They are used as original and exclusive souvenirs. These are the latest trends in New York, China, Indonesia and New Zealand. If you think you can handle it, view www.bonsaikitten.com and have a look at the methods being used to put these little kittens into bottles. This petition needs 500 names, so please put your one name on it!!! "

and then it went on to list the 400 somehting names that were on the petition and the address to send it to if you are the 500th person. if anyone wants the email, i'll sned it to ya.

but i dunno if it's real or not

It appears to be a fake (http://urbanlegends.about.com/cs/animalsinsects/a/bonsai_kitten.htm) , thank God. I ran across that site a few years ago and it made me sick to my stomach. :mad:

It's better to be safe than sorry and it shows that you care, so I wouldn't feel too bad or anything about forwarding it on to your friends. :)

oh my God... that's horrible. I feel traumatized after seeing that. Why are people cruel to animals? They are living things too... they deserve to be free, or at least have a wonderful, loving home... if someone did that to my cat I think I'd shoot their balls off...

Let's see:
1)Their site is hosted by Rotten.com
2)A Call to the 212 number yielded no response (I'll try again later)
3)Attached at the bottom is a banner ad on one page of the site. Come on...
4)Their only payment method is a series of "coming soon" links for Mastercard, Visa, and Paypal...No legitimate business running off a website would declare all listed payment methods (Mastercard, Visa, Paypal) as coming soon, unless they were TRYING to go out of business.
5)Just remember, you can do ANYTHING with Photoshop these days.

besides, if someone did do this, they'd probably be 6 feet under at the hands of some cat lover.
