oh my god. That is so wrong. What is the advantage of that. UGH.

 

[an5gel99]

I found it by looking up stuff on deformed cats on the internet.

Isnt It Nasty

 

[southern_girl09]

Thats worse than ansty. Isnt it cruelty to animals. Someone should say something about it. I would..but i dont know who.

 

[an5gel99]

i e-mailed the ASPCA but they said that it is a hoax site but no it isnt bc if it was they still put the cats into jars to take pictures to they would be arrested.

It is all a joke, a sick one, but it was a couple of teens messing around. Its still sick though. But it is good its not true.-Erin

 

[an5gel99]

No it isnt a joke bc this one lady bought one and studied the defects or something wacked like that and she posted pics of what it looked like after it came out of the box. so it is real but the ASPCA cant do nothing about it, and that suckers..

oh look, a hoax ...http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/outrage/bonsai.htm

an5gel, maybe the governenment faked the 1969 moon landing too. Don't trust everything you see for truth.

Even though it is a hoax, why in the world would you want to encourage these wackos by sending people to their website? The best thing you can do with someone who thinks this kind of hoax is amusing is to ignore them. Don't reward their stupidity with the attention they crave.

 

[Quincy Wisdom]

Agreed, I've seen this link on many other forums including my own...all you are doing by posting the link is spreading the word...the site has a google PR rank of 6, which is very good. That means it has a lot of links all over the web.

Yeah, there are some really strange people on the web to put that site up. It is a sick joke:

Quincy has a good point that by linking that site it is helping promote it. I will remove the hyperlink to the site as it is fake anyhow.... now when they search for it hopefully they will just find this thread

Sorry about putting on your site.

Well, Southerngirl, you didn't know it was a hoax when you posted it, so you were just trying to do the right thing.

Here's a good site to bookmark and you can look these things up: http://www.snopes.com/
