Buried cat photo not funny, say netizens
KUALA LUMPUR: Netizens are not amused by the photo featuring a group of children having gales of laughter and a feline buried up to its head in the sand.
Through Astro AWANI’s Twitter account (@501awani), we asked if this was just a cute joke or otherwise, and we received several responses.
Below are some tweets received by those who are not amused by the photo:
Astro AWANI’s Facebook page also received several negative comments. Some questioned how the photo managed to win the competition and the judges’ criteria.
“Cats do not like to be buried. It is not in their nature to be treated like that,” wrote Jaffersion Lanchester Awen.
Normala Hashim meanwhile said, “It’s as if we are encouraging cruelty against animals.”
However, some netizens said it was just a playful act:
"There is nothing wrong with that. It's just a competition. We often see people buried in sand. It's unique to bury the cat. Just remove it afterwards. That's not cruel," wrote Nazrul Harizal on Facebook.
