Well, what do you know? I was right. As you may or may not know, depending on how long you've known me and how often you've visited my site, I HATE chain-mail because most of them are hoaxes. Guess what I got in my mail box today?
That's right. This.
FOR EVERYONE WHO LOVES ANIMALS
A site that we were able to shut last year has returned. We have to try to shut it down again! A Japanese man in New York breeds and sells kittens that are called BONSAI CATS.
That would sound cute, if it weren't kittens that were put in to little bottles after being given a muscle relaxant and then locked up for the rest of their lives!! The cats are fed through a straw and have a small tube for their faeces. The skeleton of the cat will take on the form of the bottle as the kitten grows. The The cats never get the opportunity to move.
They are used as original and exclusive souvenirs. These are the latest trends in New York, China, Indonesia and New Zealand .
If you think you can handle it, view http://www.bonsaikitten.com and have a look at the methods being used to put these little kittens into bottles. This petition needs 500 names, so please put your one name on it!!! Copy the text into a new email and put your name on the bottom, then send it to everyone you know. If you notice that there are 500 names on the list, please send it to: anacheca@hotmail.com
Naturally I visited the site first to see if it was real. It *is* available online, but seriously, I had my doubts to how legit this site was. Their so-called methods and what not weren't exactly ... realistic... they were laughable even. This guy can't be serious. Of course, there's never any notification on a site that says "This whole site is a hoax! Hahahhaha!". So, I did the next best thing and did a google search on bonsai kittens. And that brings me back to the start of my post. Verification of hoax.
I didn't reply to the person who sent me the email because I've had enough of stupidity for one day. If you're interested in urban legends tho, I'm placing the link on the side of my blog. Any of you tempted to forward chain mail to me, do do do DO verify your sources first. I will become very pissed if people continue to send me messages re Hotmail shutting down my account if I don't send this message out to n number of people. I don't even have a Hotmail account.
