Stop Bonsai Cats

This is disgusting. A site that used to be 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 feces. 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 Houston, China, Indonesia and New Zealand. They are
even being given out as Gifts at Exclusive Republican Fundraisers. 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 name on it!!!

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

That would explain why Diverd4777 was all over it. Liberals believe
ANYTHING.
