Disturbing pic of cat on forums website

**steel** · 04-19-2009, 08:24 AM

A few days ago My young niece let me know about a disturbing photo showing a kid,a tied down cat & a dustbuster.It seems to be a real photo.My niece did ask the girl whose profile its on about the photo but she says the girl was rude & nasty to her.I did write the website admin asking him to remove the pic but i have received no answer & the pic is still on her profile.

Maybe someone else can write the admin or am i over reacting ? (i dont think so).Click the link & click images (rt.side of profile above actions).See the pic for yourself & make your own assesment. http://anthem.showmember.com

All you can do is contact the site administrator, anything else will just call more attention and get them more traffic.

Have you seen the photo ? Im not sure if the cat is even alive.I want to find out where the pic originated from.The kid in the photo is a minor.Theirs alot of sick creeps in this world.

a. Let the cops or animal authorities know. They can trace the source of the pic.

b. Notify the news media! (That'll get action from the forum).

c. Let PETA know.

A few options.

That is very WRONG and upsetting. I agree with Catty1. Where are the parents of this kid?!?

REST EASY.....a friend did some research.The kitty was being prepped for surgery...

As odd as it looks that is normal procedure... the loose hairs need to be removed so they don't contaminate the surgical site. And the ties are necessary to keep the cat from moving during the procedure. (and they DO move even under full anesthetic!)
