I'm not sure if this would be the right fourm to post this but I had to put it somewhere...

"This is so terrible. A site that we were able to shut last year has returned. We have to try to shut it down again! (www.bonsaikitten.com) 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 in to 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 Faces.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 www.bonsaikitten.com and have a look at the methods being used to put these little kittens into bottles."

I just saw this. Is this true? If so...can we do anything...
I haven't looked at the website yet because I don't know if I can...Just the paragraph above almost made me cry...I don't know if I would be able to see anything about it.

I know there is a petition going around and it says something like after 800 names it could be shut down...and it already has 800.

Again, I found this ad on myspace and i'm not sure how legitiment it is, but I thought it was definitly worth posting.

Sorry if anyone has already posted something about this issue.

Thanks Kismet for the link. It's just a very bad joke. It's not for real, so don't worry.
