So, it seems some retard in Pennsylvania decided it was a good idea to pierce the ears, neck and tail of a bunch of kittens, then sell them as Gothic Kittens.
ROSS TWP. – Three kittens with ear, neck and tail piercings were removed from a home by humane officers on Wednesday.
One of the officers from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of Luzerne County said the pierced kittens were being sold as “gothic kittens” on an Internet auction site.
“This is a first,” said Officer Carol Morrison. “It’s unbelievable anybody would do this to kittens.”
Morrison said the investigation began about a week ago when a man from another state noticed “gothic kittens” being sold on eBay. The kittens were also being sold on a pet classified Web site with an attached picture of a pierced kitten.

Now, come on, people! Anyone with any sene knows that piercings have to be done in a hairless area, constantly attended to, and not fiddled with during the healing period. What made them think it was ok to do this to KITTENS? I’d say they should sentence these people to be pierced against their wills, but they’d probably enjoy it.
Thanks for the heads up to RipleyFinger, who only pierces her fish.

Fisting of this was imperative. The article says they pierced the tails, which will cut off blood flow and they will lose part of it. That is stupid. It’s one thing for a human to voluntarily mutilate themselves but a kitten? That is just stupid and wrong.

this was so disturbing to me when i read it a couple of days ago that i had to flip the page.
its still disturbing.
and monkey points out:
“not really all that much different from cropping the ears and tails” which is also done for aesthetic reasons. ugh. i seriously hate people.
