It's true, the
United States Federal Bureau of Investigation has opened a
case file for the
Bonsai Kitten website because of complaints from folks with little sense of
humor. The problem is, the folks who run the website may be in a bit of trouble. There is an
obscure law that makes it a
felony to even depict
animal cruelty in any form. If you put a cat in the
microwave just to take a picture (not to make dinner!), you would be guilty of a felony too.
Perhaps someone from one of the Cayman Islands can set up a webserver farm and make a bundle, just like their banking industry.
Just a follow up to Mr. Fish: The site did feature some advertising, so it could be argued it fits for commercial purposes. The interesting thing is that the law he quoted was not the one I was referencing, but it'll do just fine.
