Okay, last year I found this during study hall with my friend Megan (a MAJOR animal rights supporter and vegetarian all the way!) This is an excerpt from one of the pages:
Both foot-binding and head-binding were practiced in the Far East, for the purpose of miniaturizing the feet and shaping the head into attractive shapes. This technique is also the principle behind the well-known corset, which is regaining popularity in recent years. By physically constraining the growth of a developing living thing, it can be directed to take the shape of the vessel that constrains it. Just as a topiary gardener produces bushes that take the forms of animals or any other thing, you no longer need be satisfied with a housepet having the same mundane shape as all other members of its species.
THIS IS A LIVING THING WE ARE TALKING ABOUT! These people act as if they are gardening and refer to it as such! Megan and I were so outraged at the site! It was torture just to look at so I can't even imagine what those poor cats are feeling. I can't even believe someone would do something like this! Isn't there anything anyone can do to shut it down? Post your ideas plz and feel free to do something about it!!! CLICK HERE

Yeah, there was a calendar at the kiosk this past year that had painted cats. I thought it was weird, but a lot of people actually bought it. They thought it was clever and artistic...

I once found a book about people who paint cats. Literally. It was really disturbing, though not as inhumane as that.

I couldnt tell if it was a joke at first, but I assumed it was. It'd be scary if people actually did that.

I thought everyone knew that these were hokey by now...I guess not. Maybe we should tell them about savetoby.com and see if they throw a hissy fit about that one again too.


Just because nobody understands you, that doesn't mean you're artistic.

You think bonsai kittens are bad... Haven't you ever heard of bonsai babies? You just put a newborn's head into a jar with the shape that you desire and then the kid's head will grow into that form.

Every time I see that website I snicker. It's hilarious.
