Caught: Woman selling Gothic Kittens complete with peircings on eBay

so…we can pierce an infant adults ear but not a cats ear…thats stupid! I hope she fights and wins it. It's no different than oxen with rings in their noses and thats been around for CENTURIES – how many tax payer dollars are we spending on this court case?

Piercing infants should be illegal. For you to even say that shows that you know NOTHING about piercings or sanitation and anything relating to it.

Anyhow, I hope this woman gets stabbed because it IS cruelty to animals and is just retarded. And you can't sell animals on ebay anyhow. Omg…please please lets hope she can't reproduce. We have enough stupid people.

You put rings in a bull's nose (it's called a bull ring) so that you can control them while leading them, it has nothing to do with looks only with control of the bull!! These kittens were pierced only for entertainment and cruelty!

So what about about how a dog's tail can be clipped off and it's ears clipped? How about cats who get declawed? Why aren't all those breeders getting in trouble who do those things?

So should it also be illegal to clip off a male infants foreskin at birth?

What the hell is wrong with her!!!These types of people need to be prosecuted.I believe any type of animal abuse or neglect should be a felony.These are defenseless creatures that only want to be loved and cared for.
They should also close her grooming business down—I would not trust someone like her to groom my pet.

how dumb…like declawing and cropping tails & ears aren't fookin brutal.

I don't understand what the big deal is. We spay and neuter and in the case of livestock don't even use anesthesia. I saw pigs get castrated, a hunk of their ear pulled out, and two teeth at a pig farm a few years ago. It is standard procedure. I had my daughters ears pierced before she was old enough to consent. So who cares if she pierces cats ears.

piercing animals ears and infants is a sign of a sicko THATS RIGHT SICKO!!! you have to be a complete idiot to not know that it cruel ,sick and wrong to do that to a innocent kittens and dog to make money and entertainment you people make me sick i hate people like you and people in general sometimes because of you why cant their be world peace and no animal cruelty their needs to be more people working for places like the rspca.

People do things to animals all the time. Ears, tails, claws… I have had piercings, not that bad to were I would have authorities RUSH in. There are way worse things going on in this world than people piercing kittens. This is a joke, if you care so much about a cat come out here to iraq and see how long it takes you to forget about that cat. I guarentee there are easily a million things better that money, time and, man power could have been spent on.

No one has presented a resonable argument for either side. Personally, i think it could be hazardous to the cat's health. Piercings are hard to keep clean, and if they get dirty, they get infected. If the infection is bad enough it can spread to other parts of the body, i.e. Heart, Lungs, Brain. If the owner can truly keep them clean, then that makes it a little better. I would also like to draw attention to the ladies hands, she doesn't look like she'll be around much longer. I just wanted to point out a health concern for the cats themselves.

Cosmetic procedures done to animals and infants will be around for all eternity. That doesn't mean I agree with what she did, however, I don't think she should get in a ton of trouble either. She obviously didn't do it with the intention of hurting the kitten, so it shouldn't be classified as animal cruelty. But people do need to understand that babies of any species are suseptable to all kinds of diseases. Any cosmetic procedure can be fatal, including piercings. This is why we have vets and doctors. They go to school to learn how to take care of us and the animals we live with. She should have went to the vet first to ask about the dangers to the kittens and if its something that could be done. She failed to educate herself, and now she'll have to learn the hard way.

If you clip a dogs tail at birth they are not suppose to be able to feel pain for the first 3 days of life But it SHOULD but illegal. I have a Pure bred Great Dane with natural ears and it should be illegal to crop ears and declaw because it is extremely painful and STUPID to due it. and now days it is getting harder and harder to find vets that will perform these barbaric procedures or at least it is in Georgia where I live. Declawing a cat is the equivalent in pain to taking pliers and yanking out you fingernails or cutting you finger off. And if you do it you don’t have any right owning an Animal.

I agree 100% with that, however I also feel the need to point out the nature of the piercings themselves. Docking a tail is cruel – particularly to a cat, they rely on their tail for balance and stability when running/pouncing at speed. The 14 Guage belly bars were far too heavy for the cats ears and – in my opinion – made it look ugly. The 'submission ring' on the back of the cat's neck is nothing short of cruel. Thsi is the method by which bear and big cat trainers controll their animals. They pass a thick rope through the ring and twist it to apply pain when the animal is out of controll – or sometimes even just when they get it wrong. Any practice advocting this as desirable deserves to be punished. However I do not really believe that the woman intended to harm the animals.

So what about dogs getting their tails cropped solely for cosmetic reasons?

Dumbass emos are taking it too far. First, they destroyed music. Now they're abusing innocent little helpless kittens. I'm sure the cats just *loved* having sharp needles forced into their body and then chunks of metal shoved in.

This bitch needs to be tied to a bed, legs spread, so some other, rather delicate parts of her body can be forcefully mutilated. *That* would be justice.

Sam… I agree with you 100%…

I am sickened to be in the same community as this person. Yes animals in wildlife are tagged for a purpose… not because they think they can make money off it. To do something like this to an animal is just plain sick. Common sense tells you it is wrong. I have 5 cats ( 1 declawed but was already done when i adopted him ) and a dog and would NEVER hurt them.

To compare this to piercing a childs ears is silly. While I do not as a parent agree to have a babies ears pierced as they get older they can make the decision to no longer have them, these animals can not. When you have a dogs tail docked or ears pined ( again do not agree with this either ) it is done BY A DOCTOR not some random retard that thinks ” hey i bet we can make some money if we pierce these babies”

“how many tax payer dollars are we spending on this court case?” As much as is needed to in my opinion to show people who do abuse these animals that they can NOT get away with it. If you don't want an animal DO NOT GET ONE! Same as the degenerates who have kids and do not take care of them.. DO NOT HAVE THEM.

poor kitties

Declawing shouldn't hurt at all if done right, and the cat is under anesthesia the during the entire procedure.

I don't get it. It's alright to crop the tails & ears of dogs which has to be far more painful but to pierce a cat is wrong? Come on this is a bit A@@ Backwards to say the least.

I think that is stupid for her to do such a thing! I own a tattoo shop and I'm a licences piercer, and that shit is not right. Believe me I have had people bring animals to get pierced, and all I can do is laugh at them! Someone need's to pierce her throat! stupid ass people

Yes, it should.

that shit is sick no matter what you say. you dont know if the kittten wants that or not and you doing it aginst their will.
