All this over cats? What about the Holocaust?
Am I the only one who thinks John Tamihere shouldn't be tried before a war crimes tribunal for abandoning his cats?!?!
The guy is a prick but come on, it's not exactly a hanging offence.
It's interesting how people could excuse him for his comments about the Holocaust "I'm sick of hearing how many Jews were gassed in World War Two" as 'stress'. Yet abandoning a cat won't qualify for this excuse because it's a character issue! What could be more of a character issue than being indifferent to the holocaust?!?!
Come on guys, it's a domestic cat. They eat native birds. I'd rather that JT was fired for something substantial (e.g. the billion OTHER things he's done over the past few weeks).

Too right!
A man should be able to abandon his cats in peace in this day and age.
It's not that this is a 'good thing'. It's that abandoning a cat is nowhere near as big a deal as anti-semitism.
If people were willing to forgive him for his anti-semitic comments, why aren't they willing to do so for abandoning a cat?
Why is a cat a 'character issue' and the Holocaust a 'stress issue'?
