[quote="Jeff's Cigarettes"][quote="Janny"]We tried the Kitten shelter in Itaewon, but apparently they won't take in such young kittens.[/quote]

The kitten shelter doesn't take in kittens?

Do they even know what kittens are?[/quote]

This was the funny one. I expected the "drown them" reply, but this was good.

Make soup. The young ones are really tender. Not much meat on just one, but if you've a whole boxful...

There was a small pond near my mothers home. When she was young she used to swim there. Lots of small cat skeletons. Can you imagine jumping in and seeing a skull connected to a vertabrae slowly drifting towards you. Perhaps you would look into the empty sockets that were once eyes you might think about that last few minutes of gasping for air.
Or you can imagine how they squirmed when they felt themselves sink in the cold dirty water. Or when the lights finally were switched off for an enternal damnation of wet cold darkness.

If it were me with the kittens and I didn't know anyone who wanted them, I would just humanely dispatch them. I think drowning is inhumane - just crush their skulls underfoot. This takes a bit of practice to do right with adult animals but is very easy with kittens that age.

Guys, this is tiresome. I know it's a rainy Wednesday, but come on. No one is jumping at your throats telling you how nasty you are, no one is laughing heartily at what appear to be lame attempts at jokes. It's just so awfully tiresome. Give it a rest.

So from this forum over the last week I get that if I suggest unwanted humans shouldn't be killed then this is so outlandish I must be joking, whereas if I suggest unwanted cats should be killed then this is also so outlandish I must be joking. I can only assume that your god is quite particular about the kind of sacrificial victims it requires.

Dude, first of all, way to make assumptions about me based on your previous arguments with entirely different people. Calm yourself down, eh? I'd no sooner want someone to drown a bag of babies than I would want them to drown a bag of kittens. I'd no sooner want someone to stamp on the skull of a toddler than stamp on the skull of a puppy.

Further, my point is that these threads are typically started to get real information, and serious help, though nonetheless invariably degenerate into silly wee boys trying to antagonise everyone else with asinine comments about bags, rivers, and soup. It's so completely predictable that it almost makes me cry over my cornflakes, and thus I asked if you could all just, for once, give it a rest. Take a lesson in The High Road; also known as Growing Up.

I can only assume you are talking to someone else here? Given that this statement is not only outlandishly unwarranted, but also vague to the extreme. Have a lie down, son. I think the heat is getting to you.

Oh really? You would like to be taken seriously in your cries for drowing cats in a thread started by someone looking for help in their animal welfare effort? I'm failing to see the correlation, mate. I'd imagine your faux macho $hit would be better received in any number of other places, and that your decision to include it here speaks only to a need either for attention or controversy.

It is obviously not possible to find loving homes for all the furry critters that human society gives rise to, nor is the OP required to be the surrogate mother to anything that some asshole deposits on his doorstep. Hence the kindest and most sensible thing to do to unwanted animals is often to humanely kill them. I was merely pointing this out and helpfully suggesting an obvious, SPCA approved means of doing this. This seems perfectly consistent with what the OP was asking for.

By drowning them in the river they nourish the eco-system. They become one with nature. Giving them to some humane society just ensures that they end up in some jar in a science lab for bugg eyed Korean students to gawk at.

He can always throw them into the river after crushing their skulls.
