I just read on the news that some nutty lady up in Pennsylvania was trying to sell kittens with piercings on eBay. This is pretty cruel and I would never consider piercing my kitten. The auction described one kitten, called “Snarley Monster”, was described as “a three-month-old, floppy-eared, loveable kitten with a docked tail”. Snarley Monster is pictured below.

There were also kittens with back piercings (whatever that’s supposed to be). The seller was hoping to get $400+ per kitten. Gross.

Here’s a link to the article that I lifted this information and the picture from: http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/World-News/Gothic-Kittens-Animals-With-Pierced-Ears-And-Neck-Seized-By-Protection-Officers-In-Pennsylvania/Article/200812315187322?lpos=World_News_Second_World_News_Article_Teaser_Region_1&lid=ARTICLE_15187322_Gothic_Kittens%3A_Animals_With_Pierced_Ears_And_Neck_Seized_By_Protection_Officers_In_Pennsylvania
