This is what I thought too (an unpaid bill) but whois says that it is
supposed to be there (it should expire in about a year):

``And indeed people sometimes speak of man's "bestial" cruelty, but
this is very unfair and insulting to the beasts: a beast can never be
so cruel as a man, so ingeniously, so artistically cruel.''
