Disturbing image for animal lovers and pet owners


I didn't like this one bit, but thought it was pretty disheartening to see. A lot of people laughed, but I personally almost cried.

What's even more disgusting than the sign is that someone probably threw that poor cat out of a moving car.

That picture is not funny at all. In fact, I really thought I was going to vomit after seeing that picture.

How can anyone think that picture is funny?? It's not funny in the least bit and anyone that thinks it is should get their head straightened back on!

This picture makes me so sick every time I happen upon it.

What makes me most furious, though, is that (some) people believe that because it's a cat, it's okay to make sick "jokes" like that. I'm SURE that if someone took a picture of a deceased person and had a sign that said something like "FREE BODY PARTS," it would cause a huge outrage.

My brother PRINTED this and had it on his refrigerator. I told him he should be so ashamed of himself. It's just disgusting.

I think it's Photo Shopped.
I've seen the picture many times.
I just can't see someone TRULLY doing that. I don't want to think someone would trully do that, it breaks my heart.

Well it depends on what's photoshopped then, doesn't it Andrea?

Do you think the cat is photoshopped? I highly doubt it.

The sign? Maybe, but it wouldn't suprise me if its not.

You said you can't see someone truely doing that, but someone obviously did (be it on the computer or in real life) because you're looking at it. Its just gross and absolutely wrong in every sense.
