Is the bonsai cat real or fake?
The so-called bonsai cat

< p style="text-indent:2em;">On the Internet, there has been a spread of an alternative cat, the bonsai cat, which claims to be able to put cats in bottles and sell them as dried ginseng, stuffing live kittens Entering a small bottle, I thought this method was extremely cruel based on imagination. After it spread on the Internet, it caused a lot of condemnation from netizens. At the same time, some people doubted the authenticity of this bonsai cat. So, is this bonsai cat real or fake? Woolen cloth?

According to legend, this skill originated in Japan. There is a pet breeding technique in Japan called bonsai cats, which are made from underage children. The cat is placed in a glass bottle, and its hands and feet are glued with good glue. A thin tube is placed in the front to feed the immobile kitten, and another tube is placed in the back for rectal-like penetration. "Feed a chemical drug that promotes bone softening to the kitten to fit the shape of the glass bottle. After a period of time, the kitten will form the shape of the bottle itself and cannot rotate inside the bottle, becoming a bonsai. Today, with the prosperity of science, invention While losing a lot of vitality, they also created a lot of evil. They fed the kittens a chemical drug that promoted bone softening. The kittens in the square bottle could not move or scratch themselves. Their love for cleaning made them unable to dry. Cleaning myself, just like this, one day at a time, one month later, the shape of the kitten's body began to match the shape of the square bottle. After a while, the kitten became square and became a line in the bottle. All bonsais are called "bonsai cats" by the Japanese who founded this "art". However, the color of the kitten's coat is no longer as bright and smooth as satin, but exudes a messy roughness that is rare in the rainy season; In the big eyes, there is no glory, no spirit, no aura that all lives are worth shining for. Its eyes are big and lifeless, and the pale sadness at the beginning is gone. Instead, It is a kind of neglect, a kind of fossil-like coldness. Life is condensed into a situation in the shortcomings of human feelings, forming a weathered cosmetic object that is always placed on the table and table. Life has become empty.In the square bottle, what is bound is an indignant heart. "

Originally, I just listened to this description. I feel that it is not practical. A cat that is confined in a narrow space for a long time will not be able to live for a long time, and it will lose its original ability.Life is real, and cats will rot after death and cannot produce so-called handicrafts, and in narrow bottles, it is difficult to produce the so-called weathering effect, so this is basically nonsense.

What exactly is it? This rumor originated from a website called "Bonsai Kitten" (Bonsai Kitten.com), which was created by a group of graduate students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and introduced the basics of bonsai cats. Original situation, creation method, simultaneous sale or creation on behalf of others. Since being recommended as the "Cruel Site of the Day" by the Crule.com website on December 20, 2000, "Bonsai Cat" has been pushed to the forefront. Because it was considered an act of cruelty to cats, accusations and curses poured in like a torrent. Emails about "bonsai cats" spread wildly on the Internet. The media and Internet in various Western countries widely reported this incident. The mechanism of animal protectionism Negotiation departments have mobilized one after another, and the Humane Society of the United States (Humane Society of the United States), local law enforcement agencies, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have all conducted investigations. 

The investigation by the government departments was unclear at the end, because the evidence showed that this was just a hoax. In fact, although this website claims to sell bonsai cats, the price, how to pay, company address, etc. are not provided on the website, and the phone number provided on the website is also fake. The pictures provided on the website are just photos of cats that were put into a big bottle without being successfully transformed. In essence, it is also true that cats are not created as bonsai cats.

They turned out to be The homepage was hosted on the school's server, but because of the public outcry, the school shut down their server. After that, they started playing around, and several versions of "Bonsai Cat" were produced. Because the word "bonsai" in English is a loanword of Japanese "BONSAI", and the introduction on the Bonsai Kitten website mentioned Japanese Bonsai, the subsequent reposted email evolved into "In New York, there are A Japanese man is selling bonsai cats”). In Japan, there are actual examples of cultivating square watermelons. Coupled with imagination, it seems logical to use similar methods on cats. Therefore, this rumor has something to do with Japan.

In essence, Qizhan By the end, the "Bonsai Cat" incident had evolved from simple animal protection to, evolved into a big plan for freedom of speech. Animal protection organizations in the United States believe that the "Bonsai Cat" website blatantly promotes animal cruelty and request the government to shut down the website. Supporters believe that the "Bonsai Cat" website only publishes hoaxes and cannot be convicted by words. If the website is forced to close, it will violate the right to freedom of speech protected by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. At the end of the dispute, it seems that freedom of speech has a slight advantage. Currently, only a few mirror sites of the "Bonsai Cat" website can still be viewed.
