Nor should we torture all things bright and beautiful. . . .
About Me
- puddle
- Water gathering most days I wait through blue and sun till dusk or even later and the rose has faded to lavender, to gray some days, the sleet has started and the leaves underfoot are slick with ice somehow I'm never sorry and never learn one night I waited till the stars were out dropped the bucket into sound, only felt the weight of it filling and the night full of stars and the river full of stars and the bucket full of stars come morning, the coffee is also full of stars

Torture? If so, one finds torture going on in the most unlikely of places.
Shelters give long-haired cats whose coats are matted beyond repair "lion cuts" all the time.
Would you prefer leaving the hair matted, endangering the cat's health or diminishing its chances of being adopted?
Long hair is unnatural in cats. Humans bred it into existence. If humans were to vanish, long-hairs would disappear within a couple of generations. Without human intervention, they would succumb to abcesses, overheating and other problems.
It's inhumane to hold up an animal this miserable as a figure of fun.
But if you actually think this is "torture," you need to read up on the sort of things people do to animals.
