Deputies say man stuffed cat inside 'bong'


The economic news is pretty depressing right now to put it mildly. The dow dropped bellow 7,000 on Monday for the first time since 1997. When it comes to times like this it is not a great idea to forget that the situation is taking place right now but turning to a different kind of story can be a good thing from time to time. That is why I found this story where a man was arrested for putting his cat inside of a bong to mellow him out.
This man had made a bong out of a plastic box and some garden hose (I posted a picture of the bong that was used on the right side of this article). He then continued to put his cat inside of the box while using the bong. Acea Schomaker claims that his cat was hyper and to calm down the six month old kitten he made use of his homemade bong. What is it with people who feel that drugs have the same effect on animals as they do on human beings. The same is true in the recent chimp story where the chimp owner gave the chimp Xanax to calm the animal down.
This story made me consider other kind of situations like where people get drunk at a party and decide to give beer to the dogs. If you go on youtube and type in dogs drinking beer you can find countless videos of the dogs being fed booze. I would never give my dog or cat any kind of alcohol because honestly I am unsure of what it could do to them.
