WILKES-BARRE, Pa. (AP) - Humane officers said a Pennsylvania woman marketed "gothic kittens" with ear piercings over the Internet. Officers with the SPCA of Luzerne County removed three kittens and a cat from a home outside Wilkes-Barre.
Officer Carol Morrison said the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals raided the home on Wednesday after getting a tip that the woman was selling the pierced kittens on eBay.
"It's unbelievable anybody would do this to kittens," Morrison said.
Ok. This cracks me up. While I do not condone the piercing of kittens' ears I find it fascinating that we will throw a woman in jail for something like this. How many of us have our kids' ears pierced? But we are upset about some lady and her cat? Did the cat really get tortured here? I know I know, it's dumb to pierce your cat's ears but seriously! Why is it ok to do it to a baby and not a cat! What about cows? All cows have earrings and they also get branded. No one gets upset at that. Maybe because kittens are cuter than cows? Any ideas?
