Can you trust a giant cat to save your life?

This weird Dutch PSA, urging people not to put their animals to sleep just because they can't afford health treatments, has a creepy and effective role-reversal thing going on. But the on-screen text at the end, "They wouldn't do it to you. Don't do it to them," falls flat—because the commercial shows that, yes, they would do it to us! And for a measly $250, at that! Maybe Troy McClure was right when he said that cows would eat us and everyone we cared about. Via Spare Room.

Yeah, it's a shame about that tagline. And the amount would be more that $500, right? Since it's in Euros?
