Do you think this is cruel?

I don't think it's cruel at all. When I adopted Alani & Blaze the rescue lady sent me home with a plastic scissor looking device that is used to scruff a cats neck. I still use it on both Alani & Blaze so I can trim their nails. I have found that it worked better when they were kittens. It doesn't work on Ziggy or Sky any more either. Maybe I should try this type of binder too.

I don't like the idea that it is on youtube for all to see.

"And it's not really cruel unless you do it when it's not necessary."

A lot of nuts who never thought of it . . . well, you know where I'm going.

I agree with this. I know people that would use this for every behavior problem with their cats. Much the same way people use that Caesar AHs techniques on their dogs just from watching his TV show.

I think it was an extremely stupid move to put it on youtube. There are just too many people out there that get their kicks out of hurting animals and this gives them the ability to do so without getting scratched themselves. It could mean a terrible experience for a cat that may very well have been able to get away without the clip.

I also don't think it is cruel IF used for the right reasons but ONLY if necessary.

Maybe we should all report the video and they will take it down??

Hey Cyn I have used something similar at work, it looks like a forcep and I was amazed at how it worked. Better than getting the crap scratched out of you or having a cat hanging from the ceiling screaming at you..
