Subject: "Bonsai Kittens" Author: Jeanine [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 22:51:00 02/01/03 Sat http://www.bonsaikitten.com/bkintro.html I found this site and was completely appalled. I am a cat lover and could never imagine stuffing one of my babies into a jar to "shape" them. These kittens are forced into glass mason jars, and the like, while they are very young and their bones are not fully hardened and are "grown" inside the jar for weeks to mold their bones and skull to the shape of the jar. This is very wrong and cruel and I just think everyone should know that people are doing this to poor, innocent, defenceless kittens.

[> Subject: Bonsai Kittens : Urban Legend Author: adm [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 23:35:17 02/01/03 Sat Yes it is a joke. You can find more information on Urban Legend Zeitgeist: Bonsai Kittens Hoax http://www.urbanlegends.com/ulz/bonsai.html and at http://www.snopes2.com/inboxer/outrage/bonsai.htm When you get emails about bonsai kittens look at http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/bonsaikittens.htm Still a lot of people would like to shut it down. I don't agree with this. This site reveals the double concions people have. Every day many calfs are being raised in small dark boxes highly similar to bonsai kittens waiting to be slaughtered, never seen the daylight. But a fictive site about cats makes a much bigger impact I'm sure that if you would show this site to almost every meat eater he would find it sick. But still he is doing the same when he eats calfs meat. That's why i find that this site is more than a joke and more a mirror for current society dealing with animals.

[> [> [> Subject: Re: "Bonsai Kittens" Author: admin [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 01:56:48 09/12/05 Mon It is NOT REAL If you look good you can see that the cats aren't really put in the jars. Offcourse this doesn't make the website any better but at least it is good to hear that this torture isn't really happening! >the website on the kittens dicraced me.i have spent a >week looking into it too se if it is real and my >conclusion is that it is real.HOW THE HELL CAN PEOPLE >FIND STUFFING POOR KITTENS IN A JAR FUNNY i wonder >what the people who think it hillarious would feel >like if i injected them +put them in a jar [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: "Bonsai Kittens" Author: Voiceofreason [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 04:36:15 04/25/03 Fri My god... It was a goddamn satire, understand?

[> Subject: Re: "Bonsai Kittens" Author: Dani W [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 00:57:35 08/13/03 Wed I can see why a lot of people were fooled by this. I mean, animal cruelty is happening all the time and it has many forms. For example, the baby harp seal, which is valued for its white fur is taken from its mother and clubbed to death. Super cruel, huh? Who knows, someone might actually be trying to make a "bonsai kitten." If someone had the mind to think of that in the first place, who's to say they wouldn't do it?

[> Subject: Re: "Bonsai Kittens" Author: Britt [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 18:54:40 08/15/03 Fri I find it wrong that someone could find that, in any way, humerous. How is it funny making a website about stuffing kittens in jars for months?? At first when I thought it was actually real I thought they were so cruel and mean. I was sickened by it. But I'm glad that it's not real, but I hope that site gets shut down because its cruel. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: "Bonsai Kittens" Author: Spanish Arremetido [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11:30:00 10/30/03 Thu La mayoría de vosotros no entendéreis un pijo de lo que voy a decir, porque lo diré en castellano... Para quien tenga un poco de conocimiento sobre mi lengua, lo diré con palabras sencillas: Los "Bonsai Kittens" son una invención, son falsos. En definitiva, no existen. Mirad la página oficial del asunto en cuetión y veréis como no hay ni una sola foto de un gato que lleve más de dos semanas ahí metido. Pensad además, que a parte de cagar y mear (algo que se soluciona "metiéndole una sonda por el ano"), el gato es un animal que despelecha, es decir, que cambia el pelo. Imaginad que se tiene durante seis meses a un gato encerrado sin la posibilidad de limpiarse... los pelos se acumularían en el recipiente, aparte, claro está, de la gran infección de piel que el animal contraería. Quien haya tenido la idea de los "Bonsai Kittens" es un genio de lo macabro, pero al igual que Tim Burton, su creación es irreal. Espero que más o menos alguien haya entendido algo y espero también que seáis tolerantes conmigo por haberme expresado en castellano. He leído todas vuestras opiniones y las he respetado. Nada más, un saludo para todos/as. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Esto puede parar la discusión insensata y la vocación de nombre. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: "Bonsai Kittens" Author: Rick [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 22:45:46 11/22/03 Sat When I first heard of this cruel practice I couldn't believe it. How can anybody stuff a kitten in a jar and wait for it to form into the shape of the jar, it is totallty impossible. But then in this crazy world and anything is possible, but I must say it is one of the best jokes on the internet. Everytime I think about and see such a well made site, I just crack up, this site can fool anybody. Kudos for those sick fucks who designed such a great site. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: "Bonsai Kittens" Author: chugizwok [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 19:05:42 12/06/03 Sat I found the bonsai kitten website vastly entertaining...:) Not so much the idea of stuffing kittens into jars, but the fact that so many people actually believed it! It's hilarious how gullible some people are, and the people who protest so much are merely the butt of the entire joke! Truly, the creators of the website are pure geniuses! My only problem with the creators of bonsai kitten is that they overestimated the intelligence of people in general, who might have actually tried the procedure themselves.....:( [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
