A cat named Vincent has been given a new lease of life thanks to vets at Iowa State University's Lloyd Veterinary Medical Centre.

But doing this is simply torture.

Obviously to you but the cat looked perfectly happy.........You're twisted.

[rhoda_penmark]

Thanks,that needed saying.

[Rodamala]

gee... I wonder if his name was Vincent before the surgery.

Anything they can get a ‘grant’ for?

I would thank you to remain polite or leave.

I will also would like to thank you for proving my point; certain people will do anything, with the belief that they are helping an animal (prosthetics for horses, broken leg/broken foot treatment for horses, organ transplants for pets, chemotherapy for pets, prolonging life long past any reasonable hope) when all they are doing is appeasing their own anthropomorphic sense of justice and prolonging the animals pain and suffering. They place the animal above the human claiming the animal is defenseless. They will do anything to aid the animal while calling people who disagree with them, stupid, uncaring, “twisted.” They act mean and crass toward the human in a manner they would never do toward an animal. In effect, they say humans are less than animals by such behavior.

I recognize the dignity that should be accorded to humans and the dignity that should be accorded animals and realize as a rational person that the two are significantly different.

Your response is not wanted. Simply refrain from the name calling and insinuation and behave kindly toward the people on this site as you claim to want people to behave toward animals. In other words, practice what you preach.

Weird, people would abort a child with this defect but do the work on a cat.

Weird, people would abort a child

We’re talking about helpless animals on this thread, not unborn children. Here is the abortion thread you’re looking for........

Heres your abortion thread

Bravo Hot tobasco.

All of us here are against abortion. Horrible thing.
But the hijacking of so many threads to talk about abortion gets tiresome.

Thank-you for posting this very wonderful and uplifting news story after a very difficult week!

[Titan Magroyne]

By some people’s logic, one must suppose I have ejected some stranger’s child out of its loving parents’ home with each unwanted animal I’ve adopted.
