BLACK METAL KITTENS?
Friday, December 19th, 2008 at 12:49pm by Vince NeilsteinAP reports [via Relapse Records media-maven Betsey C.] that a Pennsylvania woman has been marketing “gothic kittens” with ear, neck and tail piercings over the Internet:
WILKES-BARRE, Pa. (AP) – Humane officers said a Pennsylvania woman marketed “gothic kittens” with ear, neck and tail piercings over the Internet. Officers with the SPCA of Luzerne County removed three kittens and a cat from a home outside Wilkes-Barre.
Morrison said the woman has a pet grooming business in the basement of the home.
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.
Charges are likely against the homeowner, whose name was not released.
This is all sorts of fucked up. Makes me think twice about the MetalSucks Mansion Monkeys we keep around to do the busy-work.

what the fuck is wrong with people?!?!!? jesus fucking christ on a crutch!
Besides just being totally ridiculous, how is this any more inhumane than declawing a cat?
AAWWWW!!!! Its one thing to decide to look like a freak urself but another to get an innocence animal a make them one. At first I thought the pierced ears were ornaments. Poor thing.
Whats worse, the fact that this lady pierced her cat’s ears, or the fact that people pay to have their balls straight chopped off?
The back piercing is a bit too much. Still, I don’t see a problem with ear piercings. They do much worse to dogs, with ear and tail docking. Or to cats, with declaws. They cut off the cat’s fingertips, and that is ok? They mutilate dogs’ ears and tails, and that is fine. But put a hole in a cat’s ears and we take them away. Strange society we live in…
Also, what’s up with the puppy cam these days? I lost that linky, are you still hooked?
The piercings in that cats ears looked extremely uncomfortable if you ask me. They are huge and pulling the ears down. And yes declawing is also inhumane. Fucking goths.
It’s fucked, because if you pierce the cartilage in the wrong spot, the cat may not be able to lift it’s head.That’s just all sorts of fucking sick.
No, what’s fucked is if you pierce the ears in the wrong spot and hit an artery, your cat bleeds to death.
some people are just fucking stupid…
who cares. cats are gay.
This makes me want to throw-up. What an awful human-being. She must be the mother of a Hollywood Undead fan.
I think Im going to pirsed my turtle…would she look nice with nose pirsing????
If you really wanted to torture kittens, you’d force them to read Vince Neilstein blogs.
@ hibernum: Wow you are a sick fuck. I can’t believe any human being would sit here and try to justify these cruel acts done to the cats.
Animals are de-clawed in a medical setting by a trained professional while sedated. Also there is a reason for de-clawing animals. So they can not harm a human being or your possessions.
As for cutting off dogs tails, it is done for one of two reasons. One is for dog’s that have a job to do. Owners find that they chase their tail several hours out of the week, to scratch an itch, or to catch a fly or flea. This can’t be happening when the dog is used to guard someone or herd animals.
I would like to buy me a gothic kitten, I hope they take Paypal.
That’s fucking disgusting. People who treat animals like this proper deserve to have their legs broken.
