Is animal cruelty ever funny?

The simple answer is yes. Well sort of. Take this video for example;

Some people would say that promoting this video on this blog encourages animal cruelty. Some people, after wiping the tears from their eyes, may want to pat me on the back and say it was hilarious. Most will probably do that indifferent shrug that we all like to do when people show us videos on the web ("yeah it was alright")

Is it cruel to show this cat at it's most stupid? If it were a human that got stuck trying to climb into a window, we would all think it was hilarious and salute the fact that a less than savoury character had got their comeuppance on YouTube.

Ok you may argue that animals don't know any different. I can assure you, having owned a Pomeranian that once vindictively ate a whole box of chocolate liqueurs resulting in a hangover the next day, this is simply not true. The greatest trick the animal kingdom ever played was convincing humans that they "don't know any better".

Don't get me wrong, i'm not an evil man. I used to regularly donate money to the Cat's Protection league (albeit because I was under the understanding that it would provide me with feline bodyguards if the occasion ever arose). I just think videos such as the one above are hilarious.

If anyone is still disgusted, here's a "cute" video to counter the one above. Enjoy.
