Funny novelty video or animal cruelty?

Kittens getting gently boinked on the head. Funny, right?

Well, not everyone thinks so. A video on YouTube called "Whack-a-Kitty" has some people up in arms, calling it animal cruelty (thanks for the link, Terry). Basically, it's a video of kittens in a Whack-a-Mole type box and every time they pop their heads out, someone gently pushes their heads down back through the hole using a soft mallett.

You can watch the video yourself below (that is, if I linked it right...fingers crossed!).

Frankly, I think people are overreacting (I know! Imagine that! People overreacting to something that was silly in the first place! Who'da thunk it?!).

I think it's much more cruel when people dress up those yappy little dogs in couture doggy clothes. Now those are the people we should be going after with pitchforks and torches.
