I will never forget the clip I saw of a cat after it had been skinned alive. The cat was still alive, on all four and miauing - just like any cat - except it was raw meat without a fur. Red meat. Head to tail. On sale somewhere on a market in Asia.
I still get sick thinking about it. I wish there was a way to erase that image from my memory. Since that day I try not to look at animal cruelty images whatsoever.
I have two cats. I'll take your word for it and won't buy at petsmart and signed the email.
