Hey got them email from 3 different friends in my hotmail account... is this for real people actually do this???? Whats your thoughts ?

From email:

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 into 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 faeces. 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 http://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 name on it!!! Copy the text into a new email and put your name on the bottom, then send it to everyone you know. If you notice that there are 500 names on the list, please send it to: mailto:anacheca@hotmail.com

2-3 years ago there was huge controversy with that site, alot of people found out about itat once , including animal rights groups, protection angencies, and the FBI started an investigation, concluding that the Site is 100% fake.

The FBI also concluded the person is breaking NO laws by having a ficitious site like that, so the site never dissapeared.

That's been around for a while now. I don't mind the joke... but...
I saw on TV someone breeding dogs (I think it was yorkie terriers) that were so small they could sit in a glass jug or something. They looked like they hadn't been fed very much. The same thing has happend with "fake" dwarf rats. Breed ordinary pet rats, and then don't feed them much when they grow up. Real dwarf rats have gene that makes them small, and they are very rare.

If you think the Bonzai Kitty is disturbing, you really need to read this article from Indonesia:

simple really, a chicken is a food animal to most people. a cat is a pet and a dog is a pet. most humans give right's to pet's over other humans, people will die for thier pet's, while they will happily murder someone for hurting a pet.

Now mind you, all 3 animals taste good from what I'm told. people just don't have thier priorities straight. We are human, we are top of the food chain. we are the wolf, the vulture, the king of the jungle at the end of the day.

Hows a Cat more important then a chicken?

Chickens are good pets

Pigs are even better pets

well I never said chickens are not pet's, I said it's a food animal.

I will vouch that a pig is the best pet around, nothing better for guarding your farm than a a nasty old pig that has not eaten for a few days. they bite real hard.

personally I think that cat tails are great windhield wipers, then if you have a baby, cat paw pelts are great hand mittens, cat pets also make great tiny baby coat's.

LOL just kidding folks :laugh:
