Well, I am going to attract disagreement on this one. The video on TikTok is rather strangely described as showing how stray cats survive outside. It does not. It just show us these things: The person doing this is being cruel in placing two live crayfish or large prawns on a motorised buggy to take the animals to the cats to feed on. Do crayfish feel discomfort? Or pain? Do they have emotions? I don't know but it is likely as scientists have confirmed that fish feel pain . The crayfish also died of suffocation because they breathe through gills like fish. So, this person has committed these animals to death in one of two or both ways. Both are cruel and there was no need for it. The cats are naturally cautious about eating the live crayfish as they are jumping about (in discomfort?!!). Cats are naturally cautious when faced with a strange live or dead object. They prod and poke it to check it out and preferably kill it by batting it about the body and head as it is much safer tha...

Although the dwarf cat in the video is impossibly cute, it has been bred to extreme with extremely short legs and arguably, there are many people who would say that this is unfair, unkind and indeed inhumane. The domestic cat has a perfect anatomy for predation. This is destroying that perfect anatomy for commercial gain.  Many people believe that dwarf cats in general are unacceptable. Many believe that they should be banned. In Germany they are banned because they are considered to be the product of torture breeding. RELATED:  Qualzucht – Torture Breeding . The problem is this: dwarf cats have difficulty in behaving normally. They have difficulty in expressing their normal behaviours. It is through the expression of normal behaviours that domestic cats can be content. Under the UK's Animal Welfare Act 2006, it is arguable that the creator of this cat is in violation of that act. It isn't just the expression of natural behaviours which is a problem with this individual cat wi...

Billy Connolly has been cleared by Ofcom after complaints by the public because he recited a joke based upon a true story told to him by Liam Neeson during the documentary Billy Connolly: My Absolute Pleasure which aired on ITV over the holidays. Billy Connolly loves the story because it was originally meant to be a sad tale of the killing of a domestic cat. But he couldn't resist taking this sad reality and dressing it up and "making people fall about laughing". I'm not sure everybody will fall about laughing. I am one of those people. I don't see anything fun in it at all. Billy Connolly didn't see the story as a 'sad tale'. Photo in the public domain. I see the way it might be funny to some people but it is frankly too horrible to be funny. This is the story. It goes back to when Liam Neeson was filming Rob Roy . It's a film about the 18th-century Scottish clan chief who became a folk hero. Neeson was being driven by the film's armourer in ...
