You people want to clutter up our prison system with "cat offenders" when there are real criminals out there. I have seen more response for this crackhead cat than I have ever seen for homeless people crackheads. Mind your own god damn business.

Is it any different because it is "in the name of science" (what a fraud), its in the name of dollars, or entertainment, or personal desire whatever... I'm not saying its right or justified, i'm saying focus attention where attention is due. When you take that tylenol, or cigarette, or other pharmaceutical preparation, you are funding much worse activities than this. Think about that, and then do something about that.

"according to the description in the UK’s <b>The Sun</b> <i>tabloid</i>." Itchmo's sole "Source: <b><i>The Sun</i></b>" ... that make me think maybe the RSPCA has a point about the "lack of [reliable] evidence." Particularly since tabloids do tend to have a well-known penchant for doctoring photos and pulling stories out of their rears. Given the webcam-esque, extreme jpeg blurriness, lack of actual identifiable facial features... I'd have to say that is pretty poor evidence, actually. They can't even identify their supposed "sources" by name. If some stranger showed up with a tabloid picture like that clutched in their hand and demanded access to your house, yammering about drugs and harm to animals, I'm sure you'd be perfectly happy to let them into your house with your pets and children, too. Uh-huh. As sick as feeding helpless cats cocaine would indeed be, I’m amazed so few people managed to pick out a few key words…

The RSPCA considers that the photograph shown to us by a tabloid newspaper is insufficient to warrant an investigation as the person shown in the photograph cannot be clearly identified. The RSPCA always asks anyone who has witnessed an incident concerning animal welfare to report the matter to us directly via our 24 hour National Cruelty and Advice Line 0870 5555 999. Thank you for contacting the Society with your concerns. Kind regards RSPCA Enquiries Service So he can't be clearly identified. So what? As someone actually reported this, why not follow up on it? Knock on the door and see if it's true. How hard is that? That's what our animal cops do. Sometimes they find something, sometimes they don't. No one sues them for trying. So here’s the response from the RSPCA:

Which I did. This is what I wrote them: As I was reading Itchmo.com (pet newswire out of Seattle), I was shocked and upset to read this particular article: http://www.itchmo.com/rockers-cat-forced-to-smoke-crack-cocaine-2726#more-2726 The comment regarding the RSPCA was that there was not enough evidence to investigate. Is the photograph included with the article not enough evidence? Here in Canada, a phone call from someone to the humane society is enough for an investigation. I sincerely hope that this is a disturbing enough story for a second thought about whether or not to go ahead. This is a very sick individual with a terrible drug problem who is taking every other form of life down with him. Please do something about this. Hopefully, they will take note that they're in the limelight. In a real bad way. Next up, the record label. In order to send in (email) an enquiry to the RSPCA, you need to create a MyRSPCA account.
