Bonsai kittens (explanation)


I made a comment about a photo last night so here is my explanation)

A few years ago there was an uproar about a web site that was putting kittens at weeks old into bottles and containers.
They were feeding them through straws inserted into there tums and another in there bots for out put.
The result was bonsai kittens. Stunted unnatural shaped kittens.
To make matters worse you could place an order and grow your own.
The site was eventually closed down after petition's were set up.
Does anyone else remember this?

Re: Bonsai kittens (explanation)


I just re-read your original post - what photo are you talking about? Is there a new one?

No it was in the joke's last night. It was funny but it gave me a flash back if you know what I mean. It wasn't intentional.

I'm not sure Fran. Some said it was a hoax but others said it was for real and the man was named.
