hello Olympics, bye bye kittens!

obviously, when you're hosting a party you want your place to be relatively clean. dishes washed, dirty clothes in the hamper, pizza boxes in the trash, etc. and when you're hosting a party the size of the olympics you have even more to worry about. like dangerous cats.

though, the solution is easy. just cage them up and transport them to death camps on the outskirts of the city.

Thousands of pet cats in Beijing are being abandoned by their owners and sent to die in secretive government pounds as China mounts an aggressive drive to clean up the capital in preparation for the Olympic Games.

Hundreds of cats a day are being rounded and crammed into cages so small they cannot even turn around.

Then they are trucked to what animal welfare groups describe as death camps on the edges of the city.

The cull comes in the wake of a government campaign warning of the diseases cats carry and ordering residents to help clear the streets of them.

here. take note that i dun dare to copy and paste their "disgustingly cruel" pics here in my blog--thats just not me :( but if you want to, just go to the link. some of you people may know that i am truly into saving the environment right, so obviously i hate those people who have done such thingy to animals. shame on you chinese!


yeah. that's not good.

i'm willing to bet that not every cat killed is disease ridden. though, the government seems to have done a good job at scaring the citizens into believing that all cats must die. even their pets that spend their days indoors, and are perfectly healthy. hopefully, the rest of the cats don't band together and overrun the olympic village.

since i have known about this terrible news, i would always think that our cat pussy is so lucky, whenever i look at him. you could see the difference of him from the last video i loaded about six months back. pussy now has grown to a very healthy male kampung (village) cat. fyi he (pussy) never eat any other food, as he only goes for cat food ;) puteri did try to place a fish in front of him. but he just sniffed it out, then walked away lol...
