Do you believe that growing a Bonsai is cruel...

Do you believe that neutering a dog or cat is cruel?

Are droughts cruel to trees? Are floods? How about forest fires? Is it redwoods that need forest fires for their seed pods to open?

What a silly post... has the bonsai ever complained about being a bonsai?
 
No, I don't think it's cruel. I actually quite like the look of Bonsai trees, although I've' never grown it myself.

Those 'bonsai kittens' look horrible. I hope they're just a wind-up.

Mowing lawns is cruel!

Look at the potential it had!

I actually prefer the uncut lawn. Looks the way nature intended rather than trying to make it look like a green carpet.
 
After I mow my lawn the tiny screams of the thousands of cut blades haunts my dreams.

Waloshin, what color is the sky in your world? And who is your dealer (and is he accepting new customers)?
 
Is growing a vegetable garden cruel?

Granted, some may argue that boiling lobsters and then eating them is cruel, but my tummy says it's fine.
 
Ever grown a carrot in your garden? You drop a seed in the ground; it grows up. Then you rip it out of the ground, removing it forever from the only home it's known all its life. You take it inside, and bathe it in freezing cold water. Then you chop it into tiny bits, alive, and drop it into some stew, cooking its chopped up flesh. You then eat the stew, enjoying consuming the cooked flesh of that freshly-murdered carrot every second (my mom makes great stew, BTW).

Ever thought of it from the carrot's perspective? :confused:
 
Not sure where the OP was going with this...

But my take is that it gives many of us the opportunities to see trees and forests that we might have never seen.

Seen some bonsai collections that have allowed me to travel the world without leaving the US...
