We are forever faced with sites promoting hunting/dog fighting and videos of kids setting animals on fire for a laugh - so here is a good piece of advice - save it - post it - and let's get these people caught - and off the web!

What You Can Do about Web Sites that Promote Animal Cruelty
The Humane Society of the United States frequently receives correspondence from individuals concerned about sites on the Internet that celebrate and encourage the exploitation of animals. In many cases, what appears to be illegal activity is actually protected under the law as free speech...

If you see a web site that promotes or glorifies animal cruelty or exploitation, take these steps:

1. Do not contact the person running the site. In many cases, creators of offensive web sites are encouraged by the negative attention they receive in response to their site. For this reason, we discourage people from e-mailing or otherwise contacting the individuals who run offensive web sites...

2. Contact the Internet Service Provider (ISP) hosting the site. In response to complaints they receive from concerned visitors, ISPs have in many cases removed sites because they determined that the sites' content violated the ISP's User's Agreement. Click here to find the ISP for a site that ends in .com, .net, or .org. Click here to find the ISP for a site in an international domain (such as .uk or .ch)...

3. Resist spreading the word. If you have concerns about a web site, contact your elected officials. Please do not contact friends and neighbors. Many well-intentioned individuals believe that the best course of action is to tell all of their friends and relatives about such web sites. Sometimes petitions against a site will be generated. Ultimately, such petitions or mass emails only increase the number of visitors to a web site, encouraging the site's creator...

Google ranks a web site by the number of links TO that site, and by the number of visitors it receives.

Here is how the spiraling effect makes a site like bonsaikittens .com very successful, and able to charge advertisers if they wish:

1. They post something sick.
2. People tell others about it, and post the link.
3. The web site's traffic increases. The number of links increases.
4. The site shows up higher on the search engine list and is found by folks looking for jars or cats or other stuff.
5. They are revolted and send out the links. Now more people find it and link to it and visit it.

Note: Our website gets more traffic each time our "enemies" link to us.

The Google search spider has visited this forum regularly (last time two days ago) and indexed all the links. They can't link to a site name that that is not continuous broken, like bonsaikittens .com.

Moral: Don't post links to sites you don't like, or you are helping them. Break up the web site's name. People who want to help will put the name back together.
