PETA 2 Baits Visitors with Bonsai Kitten Reference

We don’t know if PETA 2 is actually PETA-funded or an independent group seeking to affiliate itself closely and confusingly with the pro-animal-rights giant, but we visited their site after seeing a Gmail text ad that said “Shut Down Bonsai Kitten. You can help shut them down by signing the petition now!”

This amused us because we haven’t thought of Bonsai Kitten in years. But upon hitting the PETA 2 link, we found no Bonsai Kitten references anywhere. And we seriously trolled the site.

This is when we realized we were cleverly tricked. And while they were busy hyping the merits of Facebooking PETA allegiance and asking what Jesus would do for the chickens, they were not going to give us Bonsai Kitten.

While we’re actually really bummed about that, kudos to them for getting us to click-and-dig. And the use of a Bonsai Kitten reference, of all things? Pure genius.

We only wish there was actually something Bonsai Kitten-related on the site so we wouldn’t feel so jipped. If you happen to find something, do link. This might affect the quality of our day.
