I'm completely sure this thread was meant in good fun, and I can understand that the people who are having fun with it see the humor and enjoy it. That's fine.
What's not fine/nice/cool/kind/funny is when some members express their concerns over the topic and express that they don't see the humor -- and then, some folks proceed to address them with pretty snide and mean comments. Why do that? The point?
If they're concerned or disagree, let them do so. Just as the other side has had 10 pages of their take on the topic - enjoying the funny side of it that they see, let others have their say as well. Don't make fun of them for having another interpretation. Their feelings and thoughts are just as important as anyone else here.
Be respectful; it's not asking that much.
And finally, please do be mindful and careful when making jokes of things that might ride the cusp of potentially causing harm. I know that's vague, but we're all smart enough to know what that means. I know this thread had absolutely no bad intentions in being started, but I can see how it could plant some unfortunate ideas in certain people who aren't safe with those kinds of ideas when it comes to vulnerable animals.
