Is the Whack-a-kitten / Whack-A-Kitty video animal cruelty?


Question Posted Friday May 29 2009, 1:27 am

I have heard that there is a news story calling the famous "Whack-a-Kitten"(Actually "Whack-A-Kitty" but people seem to have taken over using the other title) video on YouTube animal cruelty!

Is this true? Have you seen it yet? Here is a link:

I think it is cute as heck, and I don't see the cruelty in it.

I also can't seem to find that news story. Anyone?

Thanks!

The Whack-a-kitten / Whack-A-Kitty video is NOT animal cruelty. No way.

Here is the direct link to the video of the news story:

... the people apparently had made the box for the kittens to play in, since, as we all know, kittens do so love a box to play in, and then noticed that it looked like a whack-a-mole machine with them all frolicking about in there.

The idea was born out of sheer cuteness.

Even if someone made the case for cruelty here, I think intent would be required for any successful legal allegations, wouldn't it? If so, I don't think these folks show any intent to be cruel with the Whack-a-kitten / Whack-A-Kitty video.

No it isn't animal cruelty, because nothing cruel is being done to the animals. They are not in pain or anything like that. Case closed.

I had never heard or seen it before.

I think it's really cute too though.

It's obviously that the person is barely even touching the kittens. But people get really hyped up over animal cruelty. They'll consider a lot of things animal cruelty, even when it's blatantly obvious that the animals are not being hurt.

Here's a news story about it:
