6. Bonsai Kitten

Started in 2000, was the infamous Bonsai Cat website. This website was dedicated to shaping kittens in plastic containers. The website was obviously a hoax because of the morbid explanations they would use such as: “At only a few weeks of age, a kitten’s bones have not yet hardened and become osseous. They are extremely soft and springy. In fact, if you take a week-old kitten and throw it to the floor, it will actually bounce!” The site caused so much controversy that it caught the attention of the FBI, but after their investigations, no evidence was found of animal cruelty of any kind.
