Well I've heard everything now. A woman in Pennsylvania decided to pierce innocent little kittens to make them look goth. And she tried to sell them on eBay. Fortunately eBay doesn't allow the sale of live animals.
Thankfully the woman was arrested and the kittens seized.

This is absolutely cruel. How can anyone do such a thing?

Wow I am at a loss. I mean it is bad enough that she did this but to try to sell them too is horrible. I am glad that they did not let this horrible women profit from this abuse of those poor little animals. Hopefully they will be sent to a better home where they will be properly taken care of.

I'm sure they will get adopted in a really good home. They deserve the best after what they've been through.

I could not read this to the end - it made me sick to my stomach. Worse than disgusting.

It is horrid. I hope they throw the book at them and forbid them from ever having a pet again or work ing with animals.

What a terribly cruel thing to do. I cannot believe the ends some people will go to make a buck. I just hope and pray she gets jail time, a huge fine and 100 piercings with a rusty disease infested needle.

Yes. That might almost fit the crime, but it's not enough. I want her to suffer forever.

Poor kittens! Some people just don't have common sense or empathy. It is beyond my ability to comprehend what this person was thinking. Glad they were caught and I hope the punishment fits the crime.

I'm darn glad they were caught. I hope they rot in jail for long time.

There are a lot of sick people in this world. Doing unnatural things to animals, who are for the most part unable to protect themselves, is pretty high on my list. It doesn't matter if it's acceptable (like declawing) or weird like piercing. I wish these people could spend a year or two as the creatures they are torturing.

I'd like to lock them up and throw away they key. Declawing is mostly only acceptable in America. Most of the world has banned it. America is behind the times in many animal rights issues. I would never do anything to one of my furbabies that would harm them. The only unnatural thing I do is spaying because it's for their own good. They benefit greatly from it.

I glanced at this ... and i had said i wasnt going to post a response to this BUT the more i think about it the more i feel the need to.First of all what she did was no different than having a dogs tail and ears docked NOW THAT IS CRUEL.Selling them on ebay was just stupid.the ears are no different that dying a poodle pink blue and purple and all of these things are perfectly legal but because she pokes a cats ear she deserves to die or be put in jail.OMFG you people are insane.Even tree hugging animal lovers like myself have more common sense than some of the people that replied to this.Grow up.. get some common sense.The punishment should fit the crime.What kills me is the replies to this.. some of you really should seek mental health assesments you act as if she cut the cats ears off and left it to die bleeding and infected.sigh..jesus freakin crimeny people get real.

Docking and cropping is illegal in many countries. Piercing a cat is just cruel. Hair color on dogs is usually just food coloring. It's not nice, but food coloring won't hurt the animal.

Actually there was a special on television about the fur dying and it was NOT food coloring that they used it was a thing on animal planet and they were showing about dog grooming and dog shows.As far as docking it is not illegal in the united states for the most part and is very common.But either way this post was not really about what the person did to the cat it was more about the rediculous replies about what should be done to her.

People pierce all kinds of private places on their body. Id like to give her a submition ring in some of those places.

That really IS sick. I'm glad she was arrested and charged with animal cruelty...what is with people anyway? And then to try an "profit" on this??? Crap anything for the buck no?

Some people will do anything for money and not think how it affects other living beings. I hope this woman spends a long time locked up.

I say lock her in a small room with a hundred angry cats and let them pierce her with their sharp little claws and teeth! Would serve her right. Sometimes the punishment should just fit the crime don't you think?
I like the way you think!

OMG!! This has to be one of the worst stories I've read. How can any human do this to a tiny kitten and sleep at night??? Its a shame her punishment doesn't include multiple unwilling piercings on HER! I hope each of the babies gets a loving home and recovers from such cruelty.

I would love to do that to her. I'd be first in line. We can all line up and give her a few piercings in place that will hurt like heck.

Chances are she probably already has more peircings that we can count in places we probably would never imagine.A while back my friends got his bulldogs ear peirced and had a gold tiny hoop through it which he took very good care of.That i see nothing wrong with but the huge barbell type in a cats ears good greif ya that had to hurt and there is no way that it could have been comfortable. The one in the back of the cats neck bugged me which makes me say that she should be fined ALOT of cash per hole and maybe be on house arrest until each is paid in full. Shall we add with no computer and internet or phone.And yes i know it would be hard for her to come up with the money seeing as she has no phone no net and no way to get out and make the money to pay the fines.maybe her recreational time should be cleaning out pig pens too boot lol

I think that is very sad. But then again, children are still dying in poor countries because they are drinking contaminated water, and I don't really have enough compassion in my heart to want to send someone to prison for piercing a kitty while people in my own country are continually propping up indentured servitude in the 3rd world and supporting sweatshops and cheap labor. And we sit around and whine about people doing weird stuff to their cats.
