This Is Sick

OK, so this was posted on another forum I belong to... this is NOT A JOKE, unfortuantly, PLEASE help figure out a way to shut this guy down! This is ANIMAL CRUELTY!

*this site is not for the weak of heart*
What this guy does, is take cats, live cats I might add, shove them in bottles, and sell them as furniture! The worst part is, he keeps them alive, then when they are grossly deformed from being shoved into unnatural positions in bottles, he sells them! Its just wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Omg

I do hope this is a prank.

A VERY SICK PRANK BUT IT WOULD BE BETTER THAN THE TRUTH.

I With a website like this, a call is bound to be made..so I did. The phone just rang and rang. No machine, no person just kept ringing.

Ugh.

OK, so I posted this on a couple other forums... some people are saying its a fake, but I dunno. Looks pretty flippin real to me. Please call the number and tell me what you find! I would NOT have posted this if I believed, or KNEW it was a prank, and if it turns out to be a prank, I will request that this topic be deleated at once!

It's a total joke. Sick, but false.

Snopes article:

http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/bonsai.asp

I saw this site about a year ago, If I remember right, if you dig deep enough they do admit somewhere on the site that it is a joke.

Just like BirdyLand says: this is FAKE, not in the slightest bit real. Its been going around the web for a bit and is entirely fake ;)

Ugh.

Disgusting.

Who would put so much time and effort into such a sick fabrication?

I saw this on another forum as well. I got an email on this a few years I was asked to sign a petition to put a stop to this cruel treatment. I was not about to sit back and wait for a petiton so I called the ASPCA in New York if I remember right and they knew about this webite and assured me that this is indeed a hoax.

Indeed it is a hoax! If it WAS real then you would see after shots of the ***finished product***. Snopes shut that site down once before, however sadly it's back up again...
