You know, I just saw that ad last night and immediately thought of all the pet talkers that would be upset about it. It's a cute pic, but I have no idea how they think that's going to sell more cigarettes.

Sick, dimented people with ALOT of time on their hands created that site.

UGH!!!

**Karen** · 04-11-2003, 04:38 PM

But by posting a link to it here, you are helping them, not hurting them!

**moosmom** · 04-11-2003, 04:40 PM

Karen's right. Everytime someone "visits" the site, it is considered a "hit" which determines the success of the site. The best thing to do is ignore it.

**bluekat** · 04-11-2003, 04:51 PM

OMG, that is a HORRIBLE website, sick people........

yeah. you should delete the thread and talking about it/getting all upset is just giving it more attention.

I'm a big advocate of freedom of speech. this is just a game like many other games that depicts violence. there are way worse things on the net. if you don't like it just avoid it.

i don't know what bothers me more seeing a game that shows cartoon violence against my favorite animal or people making hollow threats against the designers?

don't stoop below their level. also, "''tards"? grow up. i used to work with challenged people and i can assure you they wouldn't appreciate being associated with animal cruelty.

lets all pet our cats and move on.

edit: they have a warning on the site for people under 18 and cat lovers. you kinda can tell what sort of content you will be getting if you click to start the game...so why did any of you click if you knew you would be offended?

i don't remember the name but i'll explain it for the curious folk.

--------warning for OMG that is sick don't read-----------------------

a simple flash/shockwave game of where you have a sling shot and you have to hit the kittens so they fall into the little holes (they were actually doors and you were in the roman collusim..go figure) if you hit the cat and he/she missed the door it would splatter in a bloody mess with graphic sound effect (also the cat was kinda cute cartoon)

you got points for the cats you get in the hole. not for the cats you horribly splatter on stone wall....maybe that is a plus..haha. NO. it wasn't really a big deal. just a stupid shockwave game.

**veegan** · 04-13-2003, 02:39 AM

god. no I havent been there. that kind of crap just makes me so angry.

people are such losers! it pisses me off that so many people have such little respect or humanity for animals. its that kind of mentality that leads to animal abuse, and just, the reason why so many people still eat animals.. roar.

**Housh** · 04-13-2003, 04:05 AM

just wondering, Veegan:

why do you see humans eating animals as abuse?

do you see animals eating other animals as abuse?

what do you feed your cat?

also, things like this are more upsetting than that website:

I hope you understand why i'm curious and asking these questions. if you do not feel comfortable answering and don't want to reply, I'll understand. I am not trying to cause drama

**catmandu** · 04-13-2003, 12:42 PM

This is the same nonsense the people who put out the 101 uses for Dead Cats were up to. I told anyone who carreied this that i would no longer trade there , and got people to write in , and they didnt buy any this last year!

A small victory for Cats!

okay, well, Im VERY hesitant (scared lol) to go into it here because I know vegetarianism can get to be a very hot topic very fast and I dont think this is the place. But, you asked, and I also feel not many people know the truth about the meat & dairy industries, and the abuses that occur every second. So heres a some links to sites with more info for those interested and Ill PM you the rest of my reply.

http://www.factoryfarming.com/gallery.htm -photos of what life is like for the animals you eat

http://www.cok.net/- compassion over killing; awesome site for info!
-good faq: http://www.cok.net/lit/veganfaq.php

http://vegfamily.com/articles/win-ar...meat-eater.htm -awesome page, all the reasons to be veggie

Now your other questions.. No, animals eating other animals is not abuse. And techniqually, humans eating animals doesnt necessarily have to be abuse, however, today, in our society, in our world, IT IS. And in those links above you can find out why.. (Plus theres many other reasons to be veg than the abuse)
"Predators in the wild kill other animals out of necessity. Without doing so, they wouldn't survive. Humans, on the other hand, kill other animals by choice. The human body has no need for animal flesh whatsoever. In fact, it has been consistently proven that a vegan diet is generally healthier than a diet heavy with animal products. Eating animals is not necessary for human survival. Rather, it is a matter of ethics: Is it acceptable to inflict the gratuitous suffering onto countless animals for something that is indisputably unnecessary?"

As for pets:
"'Isn't meat their natural diet?'
Dogs and cats live in the uniquely unnatural environment of our homes. While “in nature” they would hunt, food now magically appears twice daily in their bowls. They are given medicine to cure illnesses, and are surgically sterilized to control their reproduction. Why insist that their diet alone remain “natural”- especially when it must come at the expense of other animals’ lives? "

And at the moment I feed my cats an all natural pet food (with meat yes) but since I have money now lol and can buy the cat food myself, (instead of my parents) when this bag runs out im switching them to vegan food! (for info on why to choose a vegan diet for pets visit: http://www.vegancats.com)

And as for that article. Okay, that makes me extremely angry. First of all.. THAT WOMAN IS A COMPLETE MORON!!!! Theres so much to say and so many questions I dont even know where to start! I dont understand how people can be so dumb! DO NOT associate her with other vegans or veganism! She is a MORON! You can easily raise healthy children on vegan diets!! (http://www.vrg.org/nutrition/veganpregnancy.htm
http://www.keepkidshealthy.com/welco...nchildren.html
http://www.goveg.com/VegKit/vegankids.html
http://www.vegetarianbaby.com/) Human milk IS VEGAN. I just cant get over how STUPID that woman is!! Does she even have a doctor?? GRRR! Anyway.. its these kinds of stupid people stories that give veganism a bad name. Please, dont be narrowminded!
