From PETA’s website:
Rocky [the mascot] next came onto the court with a cardboard box full of kittens, announced that they were free to anyone who wanted one, and proceeded to pass them out to the crowd. Handing kittens out like candy to any spectator who wants one is a virtual death sentence for the animals. All too often, people who acquire cats on a whim discover that caring for them is more work than they expected, and the animals end up dumped on the streets, abandoned in extremely crowded animal shelters, or obtained by unscrupulous individuals who sell them to laboratories or use them in dogfights or rituals.
Cats that dogfight?! That’s madness! And let me ask you this PETA, how are we going to know which species of animal blood keep the evil spirits at bay if we don’t let unscrupulous individuals perform said experiments? Eggs for omelettes, people.
