Piping The Truth Into Your Brainballs!
Story published on June 12, 2008
A group of students from the Danish School of Journalism in Aarhus have posted a picture report of themselves cooking and eating a feral cat on Facebook.
The stunt was intended to draw attention to factory farming, and the students insist the cat was killed humanely by a farmer controlling the number of feral cats on his land.
Animal rights groups however have voiced their disgust at the sensationalist protest, and Facebook have deleted the students account after receiving numerous complaints from animal lovers.
Laura Bøge Mortensen who carried out the culinary feat says she is disappointed that Facebook deleted their profile, and genuinely surprised by the reactions they received.
“We wanted people to think about what it was they were putting in their mouths,”
“It’s hypocritical for us to spend thousands on our pets, yet buy the cheapest pork from Netto that comes from pigs that have lived a horrid life. And just why is it that it’s worse to eat a cat than a pig?”
Laura continues, saying that it was something of a struggle for the group to bring themselves to eat an animal which they would normally consider a cute pet.
“We had to count to three before we sat down to eat, and I wouldn’t really say that we stuffed our face. Everyone did take a bite though,” she said, before revealing the taste was “a little like chicken, with an aftertaste of fur”.
The following photos are taken from the Facebook profile, and some readers may find them shocking and distasteful.

Plutôt que de leur souhaiter d’aller brûler en enfer, j’espère qu’il va leur arriver la même chose que ce qu’elles ont fait au chat : se faire découper en morceaux, cuire et manger…

c’est vraiment lamentable, j’ai honte d’appartenir à la même espèce que c’est soit disant êtres humains.
Quand est-ce que l’homme arretera le massacre sur ces pauvres animaux, en voyant ça et en sachant qu’on est en train de tuer la planete, vivement que ce jour arrive finalement, au moins plus personne ne souffrira, c’est une torture pour certain d’entre nous aussi, un tel spéctacle.

Quelle bande de sales p**tes, il faudrait les torturer doucement, les faire hurler de douleur. C’est honteux. Il n’y a pas de mots pour qualifier ce comportement. Que fait le gouvernement ? J’aimerais qu’elles soient livrées à la vindicte populaire. Comme je souhaiterais m’en occuper personnellement, je leur ferais passer l’envie de recommencer.

Encore en plus elles sont laides ces garces !!!
BARON on Tue, 2nd Mar 2010 15:32
Il n’y a pas de mots pour qualifier ce genre de choses!!!! c’est honteux de voir de telles images !!! Il y a autre chose à manger sur terre, peut-être que ces trois connes ne le savent pas ? Je me ferais un plaisir de leur faire passer un sale moment comme elles le font avec ces pauvres bêtes !!! A leur place, au lieu de rire comme des bécasses, j’aurais très très honte !!! quelles salopes !!! je ne me venterai pas à leur place…. Il faut arrêter ce genre de massacre. Quand l’être dit “humain” va t il arrêter ses conneries ? Quand on pense que les gouvernements acceptent ce genre de choses, je crois qu’il n’y a plus rien à espérer…..

I found this to be very disturbing! I consider my pets as family, would you eat your grandmother? They are like people, just in different form – they bleed, breathe, and they have feelings just like us – people like this shouldn’t be alive!
Jenna on Tue, 27th Jul 2010 09:07
Do you guys not understand the whole point of this “project”; you are saying, they bleed, and have feelings just like us? Yes, we all understand that. But why is the life of a cat more important than that of a cow, or a pig, or a chicken? They bleed, and breathe as well, only they get treated horribly. You should think about what you say or post for that matter, before you ostracize someone for showing that a cat, dog, cow, pig, chicken are all the same, only we as a society seem to think that cats and dogs are worthy of love and care.
