I think that was the Japanese. Someone sent me an email with pictures attached. It wasnt a very pretty picture.

No, that whole kitten-in-a-bottle thing is just an urban legend spread by a website made by someone with a sick sense of humor. It's amazing how many people think it's real.

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

Bonsai kittens are not real. Nobody is making bonsai kittens. Nobody is selling equipment to help people make bonsai kittens. Nobody is instructing people in the "lost Eastern art of sealing
kittens inside rectilinear jars."

The Bonsai Kitten web site is a joke, not an actual promotion for the making of bonsai kittens. Investigations by law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, have already determined no real cats were harmed in the creation of the pictures used on the Bonsai Kitten web site. Signing a petition to shut down the Bonsai Kitten web site will not prevent any kittens from being harmed, because no kittens were harmed in the first place.

It was all a joke, one which some say was in terribly poor taste. If that was your reaction, take comfort in the knowledge that many others thought the same.

How could you have known the Bonsai Kitten site was a satire despite its lack of "This is a joke!" banners emblazoned across it? Satire doesn't always announce itself as such (some feel that would ruin its humor), so in cases like this, one dusts off the common sense and aims it at the problem:
The process described is impossible: animals so treated would die long before they could be "molded."

The web site offers no way to purchase the materials advertised. A real commercial enterprise wouldn't build consumer interest through a flashy web site then fail to offer anything for sale. (The site does include a page of "Helpful Tools & Supplies" but provides no form through which they can be ordered.)

The "Bonsai Kitten" site displays no actual pictures of the finished product. There are plenty of pictures of kittens in jars which can comfortably accommodate them (cats are quite elastic and can fit into very small spaces without discomfort), but there are no photographs of molded kittens on display.
The cruel.com web site offers an article entitled "Happiness is a Rectilinear Kitten," their comprehensive history of the furor and media coverage generated by the Bonsai Kitten web site throughout its first year of existence.

ets see the dogs massacre 500,000 chinks

This is just plain sad. "CHinks" is a pejorative term and employing it does nothing for your image.

And yeah, CHinese human beings are way more important than some semi-wild dogs. I think that we need a priority check in the West. Pets are not humans, however much their owners wish to project a personality onto them, they should spend more time helping out other humans and befriending them instead of investing so much in an, at other hsitoric times, competitor for resources.

i knew what i was doing when i said it. i thought about it, and decided that it was worth saying. i was pissed off enough and i dont think that a little word will ruin my entire reputation on these boards. besides, its just a message board.. its not like my "immage" on here represents my "immage" to the people who really matter to me in this world (who arent on these forums)

The world is a community, and getting smaller all the time bra.
I don't think the greatest guitar god of all time, Mr. James Marshal Hendrix, would've thought that too cool either.

people are giving him heat for this, but sadly i agree. the chinese government gives both communism and humanity a bad name. this fucking disgusts me, and i assume that when he said "chinks" was referring more to chinese authorities than the general population, and yes i woud like to see the dogs masssacre 500,000 chinese authorities/police/governmental people..

i have nothing against the chinese race as a whole and im sure that night prowler doesnt either, however their govt/culture(in most aspects involving animal rights) is VERY fucked up.

[ReferMadness]

dont the chinese eat dogs? idk but maybe there covering up the real reason on these beatings maybe there running out of food supplies lol jk

but seriously this is so sick how can someone kill someones dog right infront of them, if that were my dog i would shove my foot so far up there ass it wouldnt be funny

[Oneironaut]

Hmm, you bring up an interesting point. Are dogs' lives worth less than cows'? We have an entire industry based on slaughtering various farm animals in this country. I think stopping the spread of a disease is a much more justified reason to slaughter a whole bunch of animals than making it so people can buy hamburgers at McDonald's, and the number of slaughtered animals in this case is far, far less than what the American meat industry slaughters in a single day.

So what is it? Is it that these domesticated wolves we've got are cuter and friendlier to us?

[Greenport]

fucking fags i swear.

So what is it? Is it that these domesticated wolves we've got are cuter and friendlier to us?

exactly! because dogs create emotional responses in us, we connect more with them. they are useful/desirable to us alive.

because cows don't do the above they're dispensable. make a cow dance and catch a stick/ball, and i tell ya little kids will be yelling at their parents to get them one to stroke and cuddle and play with!

Tragically this is the selfish nature of existence on planet earth...it's a dog eat dog world...if you'll forgive the pun:rasta:
