I think a lot of the answers on there are like the ones on yahoo answers, Jack the lads & silly cows who think they are clever and funny.

I see the one that said he kicked the cat backpedalled and said it was more of a nudge when he realised that people didn't think he was very amusing  :evillaugh:

I believe I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable to the race would not remove my hostility to it.  Mark Twain

Just had a quick look at some of them and I see we have the old chestnut again about cats decimating the bird/wildlife population conveniently forgetting the effect that we humans have on their habitats which decreases the population far more than cats do  >:(

Bit hard to read the comments backwards, lol!  I decided to go to the first (last) page to read the comments and this really made me mad.

Quote
have a cat called Kuki. Iva had him for 10 years now and I consider it to be part of my family. One day, the cat scratched my mother. There were some very deep cuts, and my mother was left scarred because of it.

I ended up literally kicking the cat out the house and locking it out the house for 3 days. For 3 days the cat was begging to come back, but I just didnt let it.

After 3 days, I let the cat back in. Its been 4 years now and the cat has been great!

Is that animal cruelty?
