My daughter sent me this e-mail, now I will admit, I'm not the greatest of cat lovers, but what this Psychopath is doing is very sick;

FOR ANYONE WHO HAS ANY RESPECT FOR ANIMALS
A site that we were able
to shut last year has returned. We are trying 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 wasn't kittens, days old, that were
squeezed into
tiny bottles after being given a tranquiliser and
then stay there,
for the rest of their lives, so that they can be put on a mantlepeice and be
poked and laughed at. The cats are fed through
a straw and their faces struggle to reach up the neck of the bottle where
there is a tiny airhole. They are treated like absolute shit.
The skeleton of the kitten will take on the form of the
bottle as the kitten grows. The cats never get the
opportunity to move apart from the first few days they are alive with their
mother.
These 'ornaments'
are sold cheaply and used as souvenirs. They
are the latest trends in
New York, China, Indonesia and New Zealand.

Oh, AND he says he has invented an immortalitity device!
There is an e-mail petition going around, but I'm kind of hoping that even if Chris doesn't mention it, then someone else in the BBC may see this and help stop it.

Heres the link to his website;

I apologise if this upsets anyone, or if anyone thinks that I shouldn't of posted here.

Was there not a topic about this before about it being fake. Or was this somewhere else

Fake.
I hate cats.
Closed.
