Noted that the author tweeted that the cat people forced his post to be removed. For me it's not Cats or Dogs - it's Cats & Dogs & Rabbits & Guinea Pigs & People and Birds - well you get the picture - Thank you again.

Still, we realize that to promote a post that even hints at animal mistreatment was an error. The post has been removed, and we've been in further contact with the author to explain our position; it's not a mistake that will be repeated.

and other staff:

This post should never have been featured. Does no one read what "you all" decide to post as "Freshly Pressed?"

We originally found it to be tongue-in-cheek,…

So called "Tongue in cheek" humor is more clever than some 9 year old playing at being a monster to torture a cat. There was no joke, nor any cleverness in that post.

If you need an editor with more sensitivity for the "Freshly Pressed" feature, and some experience with literature, feel free to contact me: I would be available.

We originally found it to be tongue-in-cheek, but upon further reflection and a re-read, agree that it was inappropriate as a Freshly Pressed feature.

Please remove that offending blog.
