I guess I lean toward the natural side of things. I never put clothing on a dog before I got Gracie. She gets cold easily so I got her things to help keep her warm and I have to admit I did get her a couple of cute dresses but I feel really bad for some of these dogs that are being used as fashion statements for their owners. Piercing a dog for the owners enjoyment to me is just crazy. The dog has no desire to have holes punched in it or to wear body rings and earrings! That just shows the selfish detached attitude of the owner. I don't like the idea of turning them strange combination of different colors either. Obviously the dog does not want it but the owner gets a kick out of humiliating their dog.
I consider myself and advocate for animals. I suppose I am over the edge on protecting them. I would do anything to help an animal or to make my own pets more comfortable. I find some of the things people do to their pets just disrespectful to the animal. |
