Default Stupid pet owner trick (Top Post)

In response to the post about the outrageous clip from the tv show "What Were
You Thinking"...Not only did they air a clip about a cat who was thrown from a
surfboard, but they also showed a situation where a group of idiots were
rope-tying crabs (like a cowboy would do at a rodeo). One crab grabbed hold of
a man's hand and wouldn't let go, so his buddies severed the crab's claw to
free him. There was no voice over or disclaimer to educate the public that
both these situations were NOT approved as ethical situations. They were simply
presented as being entertaining.

I hope that all those who read this post send a letter of/email complaint to
the program's distributors, the cable channel in their area that shows the
program, AND the cable company that controls the programming in their area.

...TV show "What Were You ...Thinking"...featured a
woman who must rank at the very top of misguided, stupid cat owners. ...she

takes her cat along with her on her surf board...she tossed her cat overboard
and it paddled desperately for shore...she drags it back and makes it do it
again to the point of exhaustion...Any suggestions for what we should do...?

Not just them but the ASPCA. Also people should right to the news outlets in
this woman's area as well as the TV show that originally aired this footage.
Public embarrassment could be damaging to this woman.

How about getting the Humane Society of the United States (Washington
DC) involved in this. I am sure they could do something.
