uh, PETA is NOT a proponent of pets. If they had their way, no one would
have pet cats, dogs or anything. Their name, People for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals is a misnomer and they have a pretty ugly history. Do
some research.

True enough and sad that they own the name. PETA, while having a few - note
that , FEW - good points in their crusade for animals, is overshadowed by a
crackpot, lunatic fringe element within their ranks that totally alienates
most normal folks who come in contact with them.

I understand that, but if they can help in this instance, what's the
harm in asking?

Forgive my ignorance, but what does misnomer mean Lynne?

Only those who don't ask questions are ignorant :-)

Misnomer means mis-named.

You can clearly read the web address www.petspausa.com on the front of
the machine. Probably best to voice your outrage to them first, and
give them a chance to respond. The person posting the video did say
they stopped the process early. The people in the store could probably
use some training. They should be making sure they're dealing with one
of those rare cats who doesn't mind water before they put him in.

The website shows plenty of pictures of dogs in the thing, but no cats.
They do mention cats in one part of the description.

Certainly no harm..... Have at it, you'll see what they're all about if you
speak to the right person about how much you love your captive animals (
pets).

is this the hideous one of the poor cat being traumatised out of it's
brain? I agree that something needs to be done about this as it does
seem to me to be animal cruelty to distress an animal that much, i
mgiht try to send some thing to the manufacturers.

not sure someone from outside the US of A can report something to their
version of the RSPCA (is that what the ASPCA is?), thankfully along
with declawing this hideous machine is not in my country and i very
much doubt it will ever arrive (we ain't too bothered about mucky pups
this side of the pond you know, we liek our animals earthy)

But It's got a 4-1/2 star rating! You're in the ****ing minority.
I see no problem with it. It's people like YOU who have the problem.
Always out to stifle other people's freedom of expression... And all
because you're governed by your illogical and ever-changing
feeeeeeelings..


LOL....!!
