RSPCA “Think Pig” Facebook Application

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, September 29th, 2010 in Animal Issues, Tech.

There’s nothing more adorable than pig that’s so smart it ranks up there with a toddler in intelligence. That’s why the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has a Facebook application that aims to increase awareness about the creatures.

After doing well and earning titles like “Weaner” “Porker” and “Whole Hog,” players can advance to the section that allows them to answer pig trivia.

Kim Kardashian Responds To Cat Twitter Photo Controversy

After receiving much criticism for holding a cat by its neck for a photo on Twitter, Kim Kardashian has issued a statement explaining she’s not an animal abuser and the kitty is just fine.

What she didn’t say is that it probably bit the crap out her once the cameras were off.

“So yesterday I was doing a photo shoot with an adorable black kitty cat and I Twitpic’d this picture,” Kim wrote. “I have been getting negative comments regarding the way I was holding the kitty, but rest assured, the owner and vet were on set and showed me how to pick him up. The cat was not harmed in any way and is perfectly fine! I love animals and would never do anything to harm any animals.”

Two animal rights organizations responded differently to the situation.

PETA insisted only a mother cat knows how to handle a cat this way and Kim should have supported the cat’s bottom while holding it up.

RSPCA said the rear support is necessary for adult and big cats, but maybe not so much for smaller cats.

The cat’s opinion, however, has failed to be put on record.
