Ugh..... Humane officers say a Pennsylvania homeowner marketed and tried to sell "gothic kittens" with ear, neck and tail piercings over the Internet. Officers with the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals removed three kittens and a cat Wednesday from a home in Ross Township, just outside of outside Wilkes-Barre, Pa. An investigation into the pierced kittens started about a week ago when a man from another state saw "gothic kittens" being sold on eBay, a SPCA official in Luzerne County told The Times Leader. The man called the number listed on the Internet ad and visited the home, where he saw the kittens, Officer Carol Morrison told The Times Leader. “It’s unbelievable anybody would do this to kittens," Morrison told the newspaper. While at the home, police also found a dog with pierced ears, the Times Leader reported. Charges are likely against the homeowner, whose name was not released, Morrison said. Morrison said the homeowner has a pet grooming business in the basement of the home. http://www.timesleader.com/news/Pierced_kittens_removed_from_home_12-17-2008.html I herd on the radio the they were docking their tails too
Whoever is responsible for this tragic treatment of defenseless animals should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and never allowed to own a pet ever again.
no surprise there. a lot of people will do anything for a fast buck. by the way, i'm a goth, and the vast majorty of goths have pets and love them dearly! i know alot of goths who work for animal welfare groups and, i can assure you, we are just as sicken by this type of vile shit, just as much as the rest of you all are! well, this is just fucking great! something new for the religious right to beat us and harry potter fans over the head and shoulders with again.
it is like i said above your post, there are people in this world who will do anything (and, i mean ANYTHING!) for a fast dollar. these "people" are sick fucks who do this kind of sick shit. i don't even think the term "people" fits them. i think a better term for these sick fucks would be 'human monsters.'
I totally agree with you, Tobias--whoever did this should have the book thrown at them--I mean, what is wrong with people? There is no way that either of my cats (or my dog, for that matter) will have any part of them pierced--that's just mean! And that's such an adorable kitten in that photo too!
Wtf is wrong with people. I mean where do they really get these ideas from on top of justifying them as something that should be done. Some people are just ignorant and careless. It makes me angry.
In the name of defenseless animals, justice will be done and I hope they lock her up and throw away the keys! From MSNBC yesterday: WILKES-BARRE, Pa. - Humane officers said a Pennsylvania woman marketed "gothic kittens" with ear, neck and tail piercings over the Internet.
