REALLY OT - A cruelty that must be stopped
Dear friends; i know this ain't the right place to write those things, and i apologize. The matter is that life is not only lines of code - sometimes one must take positions. I was so unlucky - i visited the site http://www.bonsaikitten.com/ and i saw a real cruel practice done on little cats. I think that it must be stopped, and i will try with all my possibilities to do so... i hope you'll join me in this quest. Thanks Gabriele Biondo.
That is a very sick site. At first I thought it must be a spoof, but browsing some of the comments, and responses to expressions of outrage on their Guestbook have convinced me otherwise. If this person were operating from the UK, the RSPCA (Royal Prevention Of Cruelty To Animals) would have him arrested. But NSI shows the person behind this is in the US.

He may not think he's doing anything wrong, based on Japanese standards of cruelty, but he's not in Japan! And so it's the US standards he needs to be judged by. -----Original Message----- From: suse-linux-e-return-66769-john=jmtl.com@suse.com [mailto:suse-linux-e-return-66769-john=jmtl.com@suse.com]On Behalf Of Gabriele Biondo Sent: 01 August 2001 09:28 To: Undisclosed-Recipient:@sun1.spfo.unibo.it; Subject: [SLE] REALLY OT - A cruelty that must be stopped Dear friends; i know this ain't the right place to write those things, and i apologize.

Actually, I should have said "old Japanese standards". ^^^ I do actually know quite a few Japanese people today who would be quite appalled at this.

You were right the first time. It's a spoof, and quite a funny one I thought. Some guy has found his kitten playing in a jar and taken some snapshots. Don't worry. Your pussy is safe. ... "There is virtually no limit to the eventual shape of your pet." ... ... "the appropriate Bonsai Kitticulture permits from the U.S. government" ... I don't think so. I know Uncle Sam has done the odd off-colour thing from time to time - but Kitticulture permits strike me as a bit off limits even for the craziest federal agency.
I hope this guy gets arrested and put away for a LONG time.
I think you'll find the 'webmeowster' doesn't exist. Don't bother attacking his site, this is a harmless joke. Best to all Fergus
It seems i have been dumb. I apologize once more. Sorry... Gabriele

Much more amusing, and slightly on topic even, is http://www.cat-scan.com/ This involves cats being lured onto scanners and chasing the lights, etc. Go and have a look at the archives!

Nothing wrong with being a caring person.....certainly not dumb. No apology needed here. The site did bring to mind an old George Carlin line, though : "Snatch that pussy, and put it in a box!" Guess it's my turn to apologize for that! ;-) -- TRBishop tb64710@alltel.net SuSE 7.2 Pro
I have some friends who recently discussed this same bonsai kitten thing, some of them thought it was real too. This was even on the yahoo joke page. It isn't real but I still don't like it. It's kind of like making a bad joke about child abuse or someone's handicap--just tacky.
