i recieved that about two years ago. i thought it was true. my spca even mentionns it, that's why. it's sick whether its fake or not. here's what my spca says:

Bonsai Kitten Web Site Under Investigation
After many complaints regarding the Bonsai Kitten Web site, (which describes how to stuff live kittens into glass containers to warp their bodies into the shape of the container), the HSUS investigated the origin of the site and concluded that it was a bad joke from a student at M.I.T. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology).

The site, which describes and illustrates in detail the method of abusing these animals, has been removed after complaints to the hosts, but this site has now been posted by a new server who refuses to remove it.


Although the investigation brought no evidence of actual animal abuse or the sale of these bonsai kitten "products," the site is still under investigation.

Please do NOT send e-mail or otherwise contact the person running this site. In most cases, the most effective course of action is to contact the Internet Service Provider (ISP) hosting offensive sites. Also, we were advised not to go see this web site, otherwise proving the site's popularity and success.

The SPCA shares your concern and frustration over the content of sites that promote animal cruelty and we thank you for advising us about this site. Fortunately, this one is not real, but in many cases there is evidence of animal abuse and cruelty and we appreciate you contacting us if you have any other concerns.

sick, dumb people
