Then what would we anthropomorphize?

carrots. :p The point is - animals are NOT people. They are not equivalent to us - they are lesser beings. People who are indignant over what was done to these cats should ask themselves - am I more indignant over this - or over kids starving in third world countries?

I'm more indignant about the cats.

I can be very indignant over both! There is no reason to mis-treat animals. I believe that God gave us dominion over the world, and all the creatures in it, therefore while I feel that it is perfectly acceptable to use animals for meat, leather, fur, and work animals, there is no reason to cause them unnecessary pain, or to abuse them.

Why would coffee mate kill a kitten ?

It wouldn't kill them like antifreeze or warfarin, but it will sure make them sick.
A baby cats digestive system is not built to handle palm stearates, a good case of the runs can easily kill a kitten.

Putting "coffee whiteners" in your coffee will kill YOU too, it just takes longer.

Well, when we declaw a cat, we don't install tight little finger rings around each toe and then wait for 2 weeks until the tips of their toes to rot and drop off. DIY animal surgery is illegal. You can't lop their ears and tails off with your trusty pruning hook, either.

The practice of declawing felines is illegal in the United Kingdom. Docking of canines' tails is not, but is in the US. Go figure.

Either way a vet involved. We don't allow DIY surgery on humans, either.

I don't have a problem with docking or even de-barking. I just don't think that amateurs need to be involved.

Uhm, I know a lot of dog breeders who do tails, ears and dewclaws themselves.
Not for me, but they do it.

I know that some do but they also learn how to do it - something I doubt Mr. Gothic Kitten Guy did. Removing dewclaws is a little different from installing useless hardware.
